330 SPORT YACHT
Fuel Fills
The fuel fi ll deck plates are located on both sides
of the transom and are marked “GAS” or “Die-
sel.” The fuel fi ll is opened by turning it counter
clockwise with a special key. Be sure to use the
proper type and grade fuel. Refer to the engine
owner’s manual for additional information on the
fuel requirements for your engines.
Note: Do not over tighten the fuel cap. If the
cap is over tightened, the O-ring seal
could be damaged allowing water to
contaminate the fuel system.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH
THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE
PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF
GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY
PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF.
WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER
OR THE MONTEREY CUSTOMER SERVICE
DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE
FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
Fuel Vents
There are fuel vent fi ttings located on each side of
the hull. While the tanks are being fi lled, the air
displaced by the fuel escapes through the vents.
When the tank is almost full, fuel will be ejected
from the fuel vent. You should calculate the
amount of fuel you need to avoid overfi lling the
tank and ejecting fuel from the vent or fuel fi ll.
After fueling, replace the fi ll caps, and wash the
areas around the fuel fi ll plate and below the fuel
vents. Residual fuel left on the hull sides can be
dangerous, and will yellow the gelcoat or damage
the striping.
3.2 Gasoline Engine Fuel Systems
The gasoline fuel system on the 330 Sport Yacht
has two fuel tanks, one tank for each engine. The
port engine is always supplied fuel from the port
tank and the starboard engine is always supplied
fuel from the starboard tank. The generator can
be supplied from either the port or starboard fuel
tank and is controlled by a selector valve on the
forward engine room bulkhead.

Gasoline Fuel Filters
Each gasoline engine is equipped with a spin on,
water separator type fuel fi lter located on the en-
gine. The fi lter should be checked frequently and
changed at least annually to assure an adequate
supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine.
It is recommended that the fi lters are inspected
after the fi rst 25 hours of use and then serviced
as needed. Always follow the engine or fi lter
manufacturer’s instructions when servicing or
replacing the fuel fi lters.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, ALWAYS OPEN
ALL HATCHES, WINDOWS, AND DOORS AND RUN
THE BLOWER FOR AT LEAST FOUR (4) MINUTES
TO COMPLETELY VENTILATE THE BOAT AFTER
SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
