Fuel Quality

• 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 expansion due to tem-
perature variations). Then, if you are forced to add a potentially poor quality fuel supply to the tank, the portion of
poor quality fuel will be minimized.
• Consult your dealer or local marina about fuel additives that help prevent fungus or buildup inside the fuel tank.

Fuel Fill Location

The Fuel fill is located on the starboard
aft deck and marked "GAS" (see illus-
tration on the right). If you experience
difficulty when filling a 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). In addition, when supplied by the
engine manufacturer, a filter is installed
on the engine. Fuel filters should be
replaced periodically to ensure they
remain clean and free of debris. Consult
your selling dealer or local marina con-
cerning fuel additives that help to pre-
vent fungus or buildup in your fuel tank.

Anti-Siphon Valves

Your boat is equipped with an anti-
siphon valve, which is an integral part of
the barb fitting on the fuel tank where
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.
FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD! 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. Except in a crisis,
never operate the engines without the anti-siphon valve.
Discharge of fuel into navigable waters is prohibited by law. Violators are subject to legal action by the local
authorities.
