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.
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.
Fuel Fill & Vent
• The fuel fill deck fitting is marked GAS.
• If you have problems filling the fuel tank, see if the fuel fill
hose or fuel tank vent hose is kinked or collapsed.
• If there are no visible signs of a problem, contact your local
dealer.

Fuel Filters

• The fuel pickup tube, located inside the fuel tank, is equipped
with a fine mesh screen filter.
• If your boat features an MPI engine, there may be an inline
fuel filter on the fuel line.
• Also, when supplied by the engine manufacturer, a fuel filter is
installed on the engine.
• Periodically replace the fuel filters to make sure they remain
clean and free of debris.
• Talk to your selling dealer or local marina about fuel additives
that help prevent fungus or other buildup in your fuel tank.

Anti-siphon Valve

• If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve.
• If the valve is stuck or clogged, ONLY change or replace it while the engine is Off.
• NEVER run the engine with the anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
• The anti-siphon valve is a vital fuel system part.
• If the fuel line ruptures, this valve will prevent the fuel from siphoning from the tank.
• The valve is located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed line attaches to the tank.
• The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum.
