Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
FUEL SYSTEM
Periodically (at least twice annually) inspect the fuel tank
components for loose clamps at the vent, fi ll, return
and feed locations. Examine each hose for signs of
deterioration and leakage. Check the fuel sender for loose
bolts, nuts, and leaks at all areas of contact. Also, inspect
the fuel tank for signs of leakage or abrasion. Tighten all
components as needed.
The starboard fi ller hose where it ties into the fuel fi ll can
be accessed by opening the master stateroom starboard
forward cabinet. Remove the top screws in the cabinet
access plate for fi ll hose clamp inspection.
Note: Do a fuel system visual inspection before each
cruise. Include the high pressure diesel engine fuel hose
components along with the diesel fuel fi lters both in-line
and connected to the engine.
