3. EPA pressurized fuel tank
requirements
EQUIPPED FOR UNITED STATES AND
CANADA MODEL
The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) required portable fuel tank (after Jan-
uary 1, 2011) for use with outboard
engines to remain fully sealed (pressurized)
up to 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi). And integral fuel
tank (after August 1, 2011) is also required
to remain fully sealed up to 7 kPa (1.0 psi).
These tanks may contain the following:
 An air inlet that opens to allow air to
enter as the fuel is drawn out of the
tank.
 An air outlet that opens (vents) to the
atmosphere if pressure exceeds 34.4
kPa (5.0 psi) or 7 kPa (1.0 psi). A hissing
noise may be heard as the tank vents to
the atmosphere. This is normal.
 When installing the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap to the right until you hear two
clicks. This signals that the fuel cap is
fully seated. A built-in device prevents
overtightening.
 The fuel tank has a manual vent screw
which should be closed for transporta-
tion and full open for operation and cap
removal.
Since sealed fuel tanks are not openly
vented, they will expand and contract as
the fuel expands and contracts during
PRE-OPERATING PREPARATIONS
heating and cooling cycles of the outside
air. This is normal.
*Please refer to See pages 23–28 when
using this fuel tank.
