Fuel Fill and Vent:

The fuel fill is located on the starboard
aft deck. The fuel fill fitting is marked
"GAS". The fuel tank vent is located in
the hull below and in the same general
area as the fill. If you experience diffi-
culty filling the fuel tank, check to see
that the fuel fill and vent lines are free
of obstructions and kinks.

Fuel Filters:

All tanks are equipped with a fine mesh
screen filter on the fuel pickup tube
(located inside or on the outside of the
tank) to the fuel line fitting. In addition,
when supplied by the engine manufac-
turer, a filter is installed on the engine.
Fuel filters should be replaced periodi-
cally to ensure they remain clean and
free of debris. Consult your selling
dealer or local marina concerning fuel
additives that help to prevent fungus or
buildup in your fuel tank

Anti-siphon Valve:

Your boat is equipped with an anti-
siphon valve, which is an integral part
of the barb fitting on the fuel tank in
which the neoprene fuel line attaches. The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum. These valves
will prevent fuel from siphoning from the tank in the event of a fuel line rupture
If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve. In the
event the valve is stuck or clogged, it should be changed or replaced while the engine is shut down.
Under NO circumstances should the anti-siphon valve be removed, except in an emergency.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD - It is very important that the fuel system be
inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and at each subsequent filling. For
your safety and the safety of your passengers, the fueling instructions in the
Owner's Manual must be carefully followed.
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tank.
