Chapter 3:
FUEL SYSTEM
3.1 General
The gasoline fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements of
the U.S. Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and the American Boat and Yacht Council
in effect at the time of manufacture.
All gasoline fuel systems have been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with
regulations in effect at the time of manufacture. This inspection assures that the system is air tight,
leak proof and safe. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to maintain it in that condition. Make
frequent inspections to assure that no deterioration or loosening of connections is resulting from
vibration.
DO NOT LET THE ODOR OF GASOLINE GO UNCHECKED. ANY ODOR OF GASOLINE
MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND STEPS TAKEN TO PROTECT THE BOAT
AND ITS OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. IF THE ODOR OF GASO-
LINE IS NOTED, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT TO INVESTI-
GATE AND CORRECT THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. HAVE ALL PASSENGERS PUT
ON PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND KEEP FIRE EXTINGUISHERS READY UNTIL
THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED.
Fuel Withdrawal Tubes
The fuel withdrawal tube is positioned in the fuel tank to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel line
routing, etc. At certain speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tank location
can increase or decrease accordingly. Be extremely careful when attempting to operate the boat
when low on fuel. Though some fuel may be in the tank, the relative trim angle of the boat may
cause the fuel to flow away from the withdrawal.
Fuel Gauge
This indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender,
variations in readings during various speeds of operation may occur. This system is merely a
relative indication of the available fuel supply and not a calibrated instrument.
Fuel Fill
A fuel fill deck plate is located on the gunnel, and is marked “GAS.” The fuel fill is opened by
turning it counter clockwise with a special key. After fueling, install the fuel cap and tighten with
the key. Be sure to use the proper type and grade fuel. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for
additional information.
