each fuel filter for water frequently to assure
an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the
engines. Inspect the filters periodically and
change the elements once a season.
Fuel Filter (Typical)
3.3 Generator Fuel System
(Optional)
Your boat may be optionally equipped with a
gasoline generator. The aft fuel tank sup-
plies the gasoline-powered generator and is
equipped with an "ON/OFF" valve located
on the top of the fuel tank. Access to the fuel
valve is through the hatch in the cockpit
floor. The valve is “OFF” when the handle is
perpendicular to the fuel flow. An anti-siphon
valve near the withdrawal tube prevents
gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel tank
should a line rupture. This withdrawal tube is
slightly higher in the tank than the engine
withdrawal tube to ensure that a reserve of
gasoline is available for the main engine. If
the generator runs out of fuel, air gets into
the fuel system and an authorized dealer
must remove it. Refer to the generator
owner's manual for additional information.
Installed near the generator is the water-
separator type fuel filter. The fuel filter has a
sediment bowl. Frequently check the sedi-
ment bowl for water to ensure an adequate
supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine.
Inspect the filter periodically and change the
element as needed.

To reduce the possibility of a fire or
explosion, make sure all electrical
switches are in the "off" position
before servicing the fuel system.

Fuel is very flammable and can cause
a fire or an explosion. Be careful when
filling the fuel tanks. No smoking!
Never fill the tanks while the engines
are running. Fill the fuel tanks in an
open area. Do not fill the tanks near
open flames.
!
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the fuel system,
use only a good grade of gasoline. Do
not use fuel that contains harsh addi-
tives or more than 10% ethanol. Do
not use fuels containing methanol.
Water or corrosion damage to the fuel
system as a result of using alcohol-
blended fuels is not covered by the
Pursuit limited warranty. Refer to the
engine owner's manual for specific
fuel requirements for your engines.
