Fuel Fill and Vent

• The fuel fill fitting is marked "GAS".
• The fuel tank vent is located below the fuel fill.
• If you experience difficulty filling either fuel tank, see if the fuel fill hose or fuel tank vent hose is kinked
or collapsed.
• If there are no visible signs of a problem, contact your local dealer.

Fuel Filters

• The fuel pickup tube (located inside the fuel tank) is equipped with a fine mesh screen filter.
• In addition, when supplied by the engine manufacturer, a fuel filter is installed on the engine.
• Periodically replace the fuel filters to make sure they remain clean and free of debris.
• Consult with your selling dealer or local marina concerning fuel additives that help to prevent fungus or other
buildup in your fuel tank.

Anti-siphon Valve

• If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve.
If the valve is stuck or clogged, change or replace it while the engine is shut down.
• NEVER run the engine with the anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
• Your boat is equipped with an anti-siphon valve, which is an integral part of fuel system.
• The valve is located at the point where the fuel feed line attaches to the fuel tank.
• The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum.
• This valve will prevent fuel from siphoning from the tank in the event of a fuel line rupture.
