Filling Fuel Tank
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explo-
sion. Always stop the engine and DO NOT smoke or allow
open flames or sparks in the area while filling fuel tanks. To
help prevent a static charge during filling, portable fuel tanks
must be removed from the boat and placed directly on the
ground for filling.
1. Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open
flames.
2. Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
3. Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
4. Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10%
of the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its tem-
perature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is com-
pletely filled.
