3.4 Fueling Instructions
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.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM, USE ONLY A GOOD GRADE OF
GASOLINE. DO NOT USE FUEL THAT CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR MORE
THAN 10% ETHANOL. DO NOT USE FUELS CONTAINING METHANOL. WATER
OR CORROSION DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT OF THE
USE OF ALCOHOL-BLENDED FUELS IS NOT COVERED BY THE PURSUIT LIMITED
WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER'S OWNER'S MANUAL FOR
SPECIFIC FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR ENGINES.
To fill the fuel tank at a marina, follow this procedure:
1. Make sure all switches are in the “OFF” position.
2. Make sure the boat is securely moored.
3. Make sure all passengers leave the boat.
4. A special key to open the fuel caps is supplied.
5. Turn the key counterclockwise to open the cap.
6. Remove the cap.
7. Put the nozzle in the fuel opening.
STATIC ELECTRICITY CAN BE GENERATED WHILE FUELING AND CAN CAUSE A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION. TO PREVENT STATIC SPARKS WHEN FILLING THE TANK,
MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE FUEL OPENING.
8. Fill the fuel tanks slightly less than the rated capacity to avoid spilling fuel out of the vents
and fuel fills and to allow for expansion.
ESTIMATE HOW MUCH FUEL IS NEEDED AND AVOID OVER FILLING THE TANK.
