Use extreme care when handling,

Note: Do not modify the tank or the propulsion engine

5.1 Fuel Tank

Most marine generator sets draw fuel from the same fuel
tank as the craft's propulsion engine(s). If the tank's fuel
pickup opening allows a multiple dip tube, use a multiple
dip tube arrangement. See Figure 5-1. The multiple dip
tube arrangement incorporates a shorter dip tube for the
generator set and a longer dip tube for the propulsion
engine. With this arrangement, the generator set runs
out of fuel before the propulsion engine during a low fuel
supply situation. Equip the fuel system with a fuel/water
separator to remove any accumulated dirt and water.
