Fuel Tank; Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Up; Fuel Water Separator - Pro-Line Boats 2008 23 Sport Owner's Manual

Fuel Tank

The 125-gallon fuel tank (Inca Molded Products) on your Pro-Line is constructed of flame resistant cross-
linked high-density polyethylene. The fuel tank is located under the deck and is secured between the
stringers and bulkheads.
Inspect all hose connections on a regular basis. You can access the other end of the fuel fill and fuel vent
hoses via the 6" deck plate that is installed just below the fuel fill on the inside the cockpit.

Fuel Sender & Fuel Pick Up
The fuel sender and fuel pick up are accessible via the access pie that is installed aft of the helm seat.
The fuel sender is equipped with a float that moves up and down with the fuel level in the tank. The fuel
level information is sent to the fuel gauge and keeps you informed of the approximate fuel level in the
tank. If you feel that your fuel gauge is reading incorrectly, before considering changing the gauge, have
your Pro-Line dealer's Service Department or a qualified professional remove the fuel sender and check
to make sure that the float is able to move up and down freely.

Fuel Water Separator

Depending on your selection of the various optional engine packages, your boat may be equipped with a
fuel water separator for the engine. However, some engines come equipped with a built in fuel water
separator. Please refer to the owner's manual provided by the manufacturer of your engine package for
operational procedures and for information related to the care and maintenance of their product. When in
doubt, always defer to the engine manufacturer's instructions and/or recommendations.
If your engine package requires the installation of a fuel water separator, it will be mounted to a stringer or
bulkhead in the bilge. The "spin on" filter cartridge should be renewed every season at a minimum. Fuel
tanks that are not kept full accumulate water faster due to condensation. Therefore, the filter cartridge
may need to be replaced more often depending upon usage and conditions or if motor begins to run
rough. When replacing the filter cartridge for the fuel water separator, coat the rubber seal with a film of
grease or oil to help prevent sticking.
If water should somehow enter your fuel tank via condensation, your fuel source, etc., it will become
trapped in the fuel water separator before it is able to travel through the fuel system and to your engine.
Please refer to the owner's manual provided by your engine manufacturer for proper procedures. Some
engines will not have a separate fuel water separator located in the bilge. Instead it will be located on the
engine itself. Check engine specs.
