SPILLED FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION. MAKE SURE YOU DO
NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE FI-
BERGLASS, USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF
THE CONTAMINATED CLOTH. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE
EXTREME CAUTION. FUEL FLOATS ON THE SURFACE OF THE WATER AND CAN
IGNITE. IF FUEL IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE THE
AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS.
9. Fill the fuel tanks slightly less than the rated capacity to allow for expansion and
to avoid spilling fuel out of the vents and fuel fills.
10. Remove the nozzle.
11. Install and tighten the fuel cap. Be careful not to overtighten the cap.
12. Check the fuel compartment and below the deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel,
do not start the engine.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE EN-
GINES WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND
HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.
MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.
3.4 Fuel System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all connections, clamps and hoses for leakage and damage or deterioration.
Replace as necessary. Spray the valves, fuel gauges and ground connections with a metal
protector.
Frequently inspect and lubricate the fuel fill cap O-ring seal with petroleum jelly or silicon
grease. The O-ring seal prevents water from entering the fuel system through the fuel fill cap and
it should be immediately replaced if there is any sign of damage or deterioration.
Be sure that the fuel tank vent hose is properly routed and attached if the vents are reinstalled or
replaced. The fuel tank vent hose must be looped above the vent, secured to the hull near the
vent and securely attached to the vent hose fitting with two hose clamps.
