OPERATION
PORTABLE FUEL TANK
[standard equipment
(Canadian types)]
[optional equipment (American
types)]
Place the portable fuel tank in a
well-ventilated location, away from
direct sunlight, to reduce the
possibility of a gasoline vapor
explosion.
To ensure that the outboard motor
will be able to draw fuel from the
tank, place the tank within 6 feet (2
m) of the outboard motor and not
more than 3 feet (1 m) below the fuel
connector on the outboard motor.
Secure the portable fuel tank in the
boat so that it won’t move around and
become damaged.
FUEL HOSE CONNECTIONS
Turn the portable fuel tank vent knob
counterclockwise to the open
position.
