GASOLINE FUEL FILTER
Fuel filters are located in a locker in the aft starboard corner of the
cockpit. The filters are the water separator type and there is one filter for
each engine fuel line. Each fuel filter 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. Fuel primers are built into the top of
each fuel filter.
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, MAKE SURE ALL ELEC-
TRICAL SWITCHES ARE IN THE "OFF" POSITION BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL SYS-
TEM.
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.
3.3 Diesel Generator Fuel System (Optional)
The diesel generator is equipped with a separate 15 gallon fuel tank. The tank and fuel filter are located
starboard side amidships and are accessed by removing access plates in the bucket locker on the starboard side
of the bridge deck. This tank is filled through a deck fill marked "DIESEL" on
the starboard gunwale. A fuel gauge for this tank is located on the helm.
DO NOT CONFUSE THE DIESEL AND GAS FUEL FILL DECK
PLATES. SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
The diesel fuel system works much like the gas system. The main difference is
the diesel system is not equipped with anti-siphon valves and there is a fuel return
line that returns unused fuel to the fuel tank. Diesel fuel systems may need to
be primed after servicing. Refer to the engine owner's manual for
information on priming the fuel system.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE GENERATOR, THE FUEL VALVE MUST BE IN
THE "ON" POSITION.
A water separator type fuel filter is installed near the fuel tank. The fuel filter has a sediment bowl that should
be checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. The filter should
be inspected periodically and the element changed as needed.
