Fuel System - Bayliner 288 Classic Owner's Manual

Chapter 3: Propulsion & Related Systems

Fuel System

• It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and
at each subsequent filling.
• The fueling instructions in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual and the fuel recommenda-
tions in the engine operation manual MUST be followed.
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tank.
• On diesel engine models, air in the diesel supply system can stop an engine or severely
restrict performance.
• If you suspect air in the fuel lines, refer to your engine operation manual for detailed
instructions on how to bleed the system.
Carefully read the fuel section of both the Cruiser & Yacht Owner's Manual and the engine
operation manual, paying special attention to the subject of fuel recommendations.
