Fuel Fill & Vent
•
Depending on engine type, the fuel fill deck fitting is marked either GAS, or DIESEL.
•
If you have problems filling the 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.
Gas Engine Fuel Filters
•
The fuel pickup tubes, located inside the fuel tank, are equipped with fine mesh screen filters.
•
If your boat features MPI engines, there may be an inline fuel filter on each fuel line.
•
Also, 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.
•
Talk to your selling dealer or local marina about fuel additives that help prevent fungus or other buildup in your
fuel tank.
Anti-siphon Valves (Gas Engines Only)
•
The anti-siphon valves are vital fuel system parts.
•
If a fuel line ruptures, this valve will prevent the fuel from siphoning from the tank.
•
The valves are located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed lines attach to the tank.
•
These valves are spring loaded and are opened by fuel pump vacuum.
