For example: If the fuel tank holds 200 gallons of fuel and you pumped 50 gallons of fuel into the
tank, the fuel gauge should read approximately ¼ of a tank. This ensures that the fuel tank
gauge and the fuel sender are working properly.
If the fuel gauge is not reading correctly, we recommend that you have the fuel sender checked by your Pro-Line
dealer's Service Department or a qualified professional before considering changing out the gauge. For more
information, please refer to the Fuel/Oil Systems section of this manual.
For specific information related to your gauges, refer to the material in your owner's package that was provided by
the gauge manufacturer.

Fuel / Oil Systems

Fuel Fill and Vent

The fuel fill is a stainless steel fitting labeled "Gas" or "Fuel"
and is located approximately amidships on the starboard
gunwale.
Twist the cap to open the fitting.
connected to the fitting by a chain or cable so that it will not
fall into the water and/or get lost. Be careful not to pump fuel
into any other fitting on the vessel.
The external fuel fill vent is located just below the fuel fill
fitting on the outside of the hull, and the gas tank is vented
overboard. While you are filling the tank, fuel entering the
tank pushes air in the tank out through the fuel vent.
Note: Never pump fuel into any fitting, opening or access port on the boat unless it is labeled
"Gas" or "Fuel".

Fuel Tank

The 200-gallon fuel tank on your Pro-Line is constructed of heavy gauge aluminum with internal baffling to
minimize sloshing. The fuel tank is located under the deck and is secured between the stringers and bulkheads.
Port and starboard
engine fuel pick-ups
Inspect the hose connections on a regular basis. To access the fuel fill and fuel vent hoses at the tank, go into
the mid berth and remove the round access pie located on the right side of the window opening. The other end of
these two hoses can be accessed via the deck plate that is installed just below the fuel fill on the inside the
cockpit.

Fuel Sender and Fuel Pick Ups

To access the fuel sender and fuel pick-up, lift the bilge hatch. At the forward edge of the hatch opening, there is
a rectangular panel that is held in place with 6 screws. When you remove the panel, you will see the fuel sender
and fuel pick-ups.
