Section 3 - Using Your Boat contains important
fueling information. Take time to read all the fuel
related information in the Owner's Manual.
The 250 Select EX standard gasoline fuel system
consists of a 75 gallon (284 liter) fuel tank, fuel tank
vent, electric fuel valve, engine fuel supply line and
fuel fi ll (Fig. 5.1.1).
The fuel tank vent serves as a pressure/vacuum
release and safety overfl ow. The fuel vent is located
inside the fuel cap on the port transom. Periodically
check the vent to ensure that it is not clogged.
The fuel pickup at the fuel tank has an electric fuel
valve to prevent fuel from siphoning out in the event
of fuel line failure.

all times.
In the event of an electrical malfunction, the valve
can be opened and closed manually by turning the

The electric fuel valve is installed in-line on the fuel
