3. EPA pressurized portable fuel
tank requirements
EQUIPPED FOR UNITED STATES AND
CANADA MODEL
The Environmental Protect ion Agency
(EPA) required portable fuel systems that
are produced after January 1, 2011 for use
with outboard engines to remain fully
sealed (pressurized) up to 34.4 kPa (5.0
psi). These tanks may contain the follow-
ing:
An air inlet that opens to allow air to
enter as the fuel is drawn out of the
tank.
An air outlet that opens (vents) to the
atmosphere if pressure exceeds 34.4
kPa (5.0 psi). A hissing noise may be
heard as the tank vents to the atmo-
sphere. This is normal.
When installing the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap to the right until you hear two
clicks. This signals that the fuel cap is
fully seated. A built-in device prevents
overtightening.
The fuel tank has a manual vent screw
which should be closed for transporta-
tion and full open for operation and cap
removal.
Since sealed fuel tanks are not openly
vented, they will expand and contract as
the fuel expands and contracts during
heating and cooling cycles of the outside
air. This is normal.
