Fuel System
The fuel fill is located on the starboard aft
deck. The fuel fill fitting is marked
“GAS”. The fuel tank vent is located in the
hull below and in the same general area as
the fill.
If you experience difficulty filling either
fuel tank, see if the fuel fill hose or fuel
tank vent hose is kinked or collapsed. If
there are no visible signs of a problem,
contact your local dealer.
Fuel Filters
All tanks are equipped with a fine mesh
screen filter on the fuel pickup tube
(located inside the tank). In addition, when
supplied by the engine manufacturer, a fil-
ter is installed on the engine.
Replace the fuel filter periodically to
ensure it remains clean and free of debris.
Consult your selling dealer or local marina
concerning fuel additives that help to pre-
vent fungus or buildup in your fuel tank.
Anti-siphon Valve
Your boat is equipped with an anti-siphon
valve, which is an integral part of fuel sys-
tem. The valve is located at the point
where the fuel feed line attaches to the fuel
tank. The valve is spring loaded and is
opened by fuel pump vacuum. This valve
will prevent fuel from siphoning from the
tank in the event of a fuel line rupture.
FIRE, EXPLOSION AND OPEN FLAME HAZARD!
•
It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and
at each subsequent filling.
•
The fueling instructions in the Cruiser & Yacht Owner’s Manual and the fuel recommenda-
tions in the engine operation manual must be followed.

•
If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve. If
the valve is stuck or clogged, change or replace it while the engine is shut down.
•
NEVER run the engine with the anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
