Fuel Sending Unit:
The fuel sending unit is a mechanical device that is located in the fuel tank. It sends a
signal to the fuel gauge monitoring the amount of fuel that is present in the tank.
Fuel sending unit
On
24’ Kingfishers the fuel sending unit is located underneath a 4” plastic deck plate
screwed to the floor panel directly behind the cabin.
On 25’ & 27’ Kingfishers the fuel sending unit is accessed by removing the screwed on
board directly below the cabin door.
On 28’ & 30’ Kingfishers the fuel sender is located beneath a 6” screw out access hatch in
the rear deck plate.
NOTE:
The fuel sending unit will only give an accurate reading when the boat’s fuel tank is
level. Do not depend on the fuel gauge as your only means of determining fuel levels.
WARNING
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPOURS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE.
To avoid
serious injury or death from fire or explosion, have fuel system inspected by an
authorized Kingfisher dealer, at least once per year.
The fuel that comes from commercial fuel stations is stored in a cool underground tank.
It will expand when it heats up as much as 3 to 4 gallons on a regular sized tank. The
fuel can then spill over onto the boat through the filler vent.
Paint that is damaged by fuel spillage is not covered under warranty.
