Fuel Fills
A fuel fill deck plate is located on each gunnel, and is marked
“GAS.” If your boat is equipped with the optional generator, an
additional fuel fill deck plate will be located on the port side of the
deck and will marked “DIESEL.” 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.
Note: Do not overtighten the fuel cap. If the cap is overtightened, 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 GASO-
LINE 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. CON-
TACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT
FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
Fuel Vents
There are two fuel vent fittings for the gasoline fuel tanks, one on each side of the hull. If your
boat is equipped with a generator, there is also an additional fuel vent fitting on the port hull side
for the diesel fuel tank. While the tank is being filled, the air displaced by the fuel escapes through
the vent.
After fueling, replace the fill cap(s), and wash the areas around the fuel fill plates and below the
fuel vent(s). Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous, and will yellow the
fiberglass or damage the striping.
