20 Chapter 2: Components/Systems
Discharge of fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are subject to legal
action by the local authorities.

Fuel Fill Location

The fuel fill receptacle is located on the starboard side
of the aft deck and are marked either "Diesel" or
"GAS". If you experience difficulty filling the fuel tank,
check to see that the fuel fill and vent lines are free of
obstructions and kinks.

Fuel Quality

• Refer to your engine manual for fuel grade
recommendations.
• Make sure your fuel suppliers are reputable and can
be relied upon to furnish clean, high quality fuel.
Once you have found such suppliers, keep your tank
as full as possible with their fuel, allowing for expan-
sion due to temperature variations. Then, if you are
forced to add to the tank with a potentially poor qual-
ity supply, the portion of poor quality fuel will be
minimized.
• Consult your selling dealer or local marina about recommended fuel additives that help prevent fungus or build-up
inside the fuel tank.
Fuel Filters & Separators
Fuel filters and separators should be replaced periodically
according to the guidelines and instructions detailed in your
engine manual, optional generator manual and in any filter
literature included in your boat's owner's packet.

Anti-siphon Valves (Gas Only)

• An anti-siphon valve is an integral part of the fuel line barb
fitting on the fuel tank. These valves are spring loaded and
are opened by fuel pump vacuum.
• In the unlikely event of a fuel line rupturing, the anti-
siphon valve is designed to prevent the siphoning of fuel
from the tank.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD!
• Except in an emergency, never operate the engines without the anti-siphon valve.
• If an engine problem is caused by fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve. If the valve
is stuck or clogged, shut down the engine and replace it.
