companionways to prevent fumes from entering the
boa~
and
ventilate after fueling.

The
genera/or compartment should hove a gasoline fume
detector/alarm properly installed and working.
GASOLlNEJWATER SEPARATOR AND FILTER
A primary fuel filter of the water separating type must be
installed between the fuel tank and the engine to remove
water and other contaminant's from the fuel before they can
be carried to the fuel system on the engine.
These gasoline filters must have metal bowls (not "see-
through") to meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements. The metal
bowls have drain valves to use when checking for water and
impurities.
FUEL PUMP
Periodically check the fuel connections to and out of the
pump and make sure that no leakage is present and that the
fittings are tight and secure. The engine mounted fuel pump is
maintenance free.
