Pumping Fuel
IMPORTANT
: Follow engine manufacturer’s recommendations for types of fuel
and oil. Use of improper products can damage the engine and void the warranty.
1. Be sure to fuel in a well-lit area. It’s hard to see gasoline spills if lighting is
poor or in the dark.
2. remove the gas fill cover.
3. the fuel delivery nozzle should be put in contact with the fill pipe before the
flow of fuel is begun, and this contact should be maintained continuously until
fuel flow has stopped. there is a serious hazard posed by static discharge
unless this practice is observed.
4. Stand away from the fuel tank vent and gas fill during fueling. Fuel may splash
back, irritate eyes, and/or create a fire hazard.
5. Avoid spilling gasoline. It can harm the environment. Wipe up any excess fuel
immediately.
6. After pumping approximately 10 gallons of fuel into the fuel tank, inspect the
engine and fuel tank area for any signs of leakage. If no leaks or other prob-
lems are detected, resume fueling.
7. Allow space at the top of the tank for thermal expansion.
Note
: you may not be able to fill the tank to 100% of its dry-rated capacity. the
boat’s floating attitude, which affects the position of the fuel tank and its vent, may
limit the amount of fuel the tank will hold. If fuel flows out the tank vent, stop fuel-
ing immediately. the tank is as full as possible under current conditions.
8. If fuel cannot be pumped in at a reasonable rate, check for fuel vent blockage
or a kink in the line.
8.3
Fire and Explosion Hazard!
Do not smoke. extinguish all open flames. Stop
engines. Do not use electrical switches and other devices that could cause a spark
or flame. Close all openings. During fueling operations, smoking should be for-
bidden onboard or anywhere nearby.
