REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL
IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY.
Keep records of the fuel capacity and consumption
of your boat. Drastic changes in consumption and
mileage may indicate a problem.
NOTICE
NOTICE
FUEL GAUGE only reads accurately when boat
is level (not underway).
The use of a portable fuel tank to fi ll your boat’s
tank can result in overfi lling and circumvent the
safety features designed into your tank.
!
WARNING
The modification of any of the fuel system
components or the replacement of these com-
ponents with unathorized parts may result
in over-pressurization of the fuel system and
circumvent the safety features designed into
your tank.
!
WARNING
tank which allows proper ventilation of the tank when
the boat is stored, or trailered, on a moderate incline,
without fuel seepage.
Fuel Distribution System
The fuel is delivered from the tank to the engine
through the Fuel Demand Valve (FDV), anti-siphon
valve, and the fuel line. The FDV prevents the built
up pressure inside the tank from being transferred
to the engine while still allowing fuel to
fl ow as the
engine requires it for operation. The anti-siphon valve
is a safety feature designed to prevent the fuel from
siphoning out of the tank if the fuel line were to be
cut or broken below the level of the fuel in the tank.
In this case, some fuel would leak from the line, but
would not allow the entire contents of the tank to
siphon into the boat.
Filling The Tank
This fuel system is designed to automatically shut
off the fuel nozzle when the tank is full, similar to
an automotive fuel system. The tank is fi lled when
the fuel fi ll nozzle has shut itself off the second time.
Attempting to fi ll the tank past this point may cause
some of the components to not function properly, or
malfunction.
