Denali 24
3.2 Inboard/Outboard Fuel System
The fuel system on the Denali 24 has one fuel tank. The fuel tank is mounted in the center of the
bilge and has one fuel line equipped with an anti-siphon valve where the fuel line attaches to the
fuel tank. This valve prevents gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture.
DO NOT REMOVE THE ANTI-SIPHON VALVES FROM THE SYSTEM. SHOULD AN ANTI-
SIPHON VALVE BECOME CLOGGED, CLEAN AND REINSTALL OR REPLACE. IF A FUEL
LINE SHOULD LEAK, ANTI-SIPHON VALVES PREVENT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL
FROM FLOWING INTO THE BILGE. ANTI-SIPHON VALVES ARE REQUIRED, BY THE U.S.
COAST GUARD, TO BE INSTALLED IN ALL BOATS EQUIPPED WITH GASOLINE ENGINES.
Fuel Filter
The engine is equipped with a spin on, water separator type fuel filter. The
filter 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 filter is inspected after the first 25 hours of use and then serviced as
needed. Follow the engine or filter manufacturer’s instructions for
servicing or replacing the fuel filter.
Note: Clean fuel is especially important in fuel injected engines and
the engine manufacturer's recommendations for fuel filter
maintenance must be followed exactly.
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, MAKE SURE ALL ELECTRI-
CAL 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.
AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND
CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE.
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE, ALWAYS OPEN
ALL HATCHES, WINDOWS, AND DOORS. RUN THE BLOWER FOR AT LEAST FIVE (5)
MINUTES TO COMPLETELY VENTILATE THE BOAT AFTER FUELING OR SERVICING THE
FUEL SYSTEM.
