4.2.9.1 Refueling the boat

Wet down the composite decks with water before refueling. This ensures that any fuel spillage will float
on the water and not penetrate the decking material.
Water reaching the engine's injection system can cause rapid corrosion damage to the precision
components in the injection pump components. For this reason, it is vital to check the extra fuel filter
regularly for water. Every so often, drain a small quantity of fuel into a suitable container (avoid fuel
spillage) and check that there is no condensation water. If there is water in the filter, continue to drain
until only clean fuel appears.
The fuel system on the engine is sensitive to air bubbles in the fuel. Always fill the tanks well before they
are completely empty. If the system has been run dry, it must be bled before the engine can be started
again. See the engine manufacturer's instruction manual before bleeding the fuel system.
