GASOLINE FUEL FILTER
Fuel filters are installed in the transom area of the boat. The filters
are the water separator type and there is one filter for each engine
fuel line. Each fuel filter has a sediment bowl that should be
checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of
clean, dry fuel to the engines. It is recommended that the filters
are inspected periodically and the elements changed once a
season.
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION, MAKE SURE ALL ELECTRICAL
SWITCHES ARE IN THE "OFF" POSITION BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL IN THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLO-
SION. CHECK ALL FUEL LINE FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING
THE ENGINES FOLLOWING ANY FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE.
