level (not underway).
NOTICE
!
The fuel tank vent integrated into the fuel fill deck plate
serves as a pressure/vacuum release, safety overflow
and flame arrestor.
EMPTY TANK:
A fuel tank with levels less than 1/4 full can cause prob-
lems by stalling an engine due to fuel starvation or by
allowing sediment and dirt to enter the fuel supply lines.
Keeping the tank filled will reduce the chance of this
occurance; since the residue will most likely settle to the
bottom of the tank. Monitor the fuel level often to pre-
vent this from happening.
HOSES AND FITTINGS:
Hoses and fittings should be inspected at least every 100
hours. Check the hoses for cracks, abrasions and dete-
rioration and the strong smell of fuel prior to starting the
engine(s). If the hoses or fittings are damaged or worn,
replace them with only marine grade replacement parts.
Your authorized Boston Whaler® dealer will have all
the parts information you will need.
TANK CLEANING:
Excessive water and sediment may force you to con-
sider having the tank professionally cleaned. If you are
frequently changing fuel filter/water separators and no-
tice a loss in power, consult a professional tank cleaning
contractor regarding this procedure and proper disposal
of residue and water.
DEISEL FUEL FILTER MAINTENANCE:
The optional diesel fuel filter/water separator protects
the components of the optional generator from harmful
residue and water infiltration. The fuel
filter/water separator has a removable filter element that
requires regular maintenance. There is a manufacturers
owners manual that is included in the
owners packet. This manual will give you information
regarding maintenance of the fuel filter/water separator.
