Gasoline Fuel System
The gasoline fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel tank vent, anti-siphon valve, engine fuel supply
line and fuel fill. Your vessel contains a new EPA certified fuel system. The system prevents spit back
when filling the tank and lowers the out gassing emissions through the tank and vent.
•
Thoroughly inspect the fuel system for leaks every time you take on fuel.
•
Follow both the
engine operation manual fuel recommendations.
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tank.
Carefully read the fuel section of both the Sport Boat Owner's Manual
and the engine operation manual, paying special attention to the subject
of fuel recommendations.
