CAUTION
Oil and fuel spills can be dangerous and can
subject offenders to severe penalties
A common violation is bilge discharge. Violators
are subject to severe penalties and may also be
responsible for the cost of clean up, which can be
substantial.
Use rags or sponges to soak up fuel or oily waste,
then dispose of them properly ashore. If there is a
large quantity of fuel or oil in the bilge, contact a
knowledgeable marine service to remove it. Never
pump contaminated bilge discharge overboard.
Fuel System
Fuel tank
Your boat is equipped with a low permeation
crosslink Polyethylene fuel tank with a useable fuel
capacity of 58 gallon (220 L). The useable capacity
of the fuel tank is different from the tank capacity
marked on the tank from the manufacturer. The
difference is the non-useable portion of the tank
which results from the fuel in the tank that is below
the pickup tube and the ullage area that has been
incorporated into your tank. It is recommended that
you follow all instructions regarding the fi lling of
fuel tanks.
Please take time to read and understand
all the fuel related information and warnings
regarding gasoline and your boat, in the engine
owner’s packet.
Fuel tanks with levels less than 1/4 full can cause
engine stalling problems due to fuel starvation or by
allowing sediment and dirt to enter the fuel supply
lines. Keep the tank full and monitor the fuel level
often to prevent this from happening.
Fuel Vent
The fuel tank vent is integrated into the fuel fi ll deck
fi tting (See fi g. 3.3.1). The vent serves as an over
pressure/vacuum release with anti-surge and fl ame/
spark arresting protection. The fuel vent system also
plays an important role in controlling the “FULL”
level of fuel with the use of the FLVV (Fill Limit
Vent Valve). Grade Valves have been added to the
NOTICE
it is your responsibility to read and understand
the engine manufacturer’s manual in your
owner’s manual packet for complete fuel and
fueling information and warnings.

each system, reducing the possibility of
accidental fuel spills.
• Reduce hydrocarbon emissions through the
use of a specially designed fuel fi ll. This
fuel fi ll has a permanently attached cap
