B. FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. The fuel level is displayed on the console mounted
gauge when the ignition switch is “on”. On models with two tanks, a console mounted switch marked with a fuel
pump symbol or just “fuel”, is used to switch the gauge from one tank to the other. Push the fuel pump symbol switch
to display the level in tank 1 (starboard) or tank 2 (port). Or, on some models, push the switch to the left to display
the port tank fuel level and push to the right to display the starboard tank fuel level. The center position is “off”.
C. FUEL SENDER(S)
Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender, variations in readings during various speeds of operation may
occur. This system is merely a relative indication of the available fuel supply and not a calibrated instrument. With
this type of sending unit a more accurate measurement of fuel level is obtained with the boat in a level position.
D. FUEL VALVE(S)
A fuel hose connects the fuel tank to the engine. On models with more than one tank, a switch valve is installed
to switch from tank to tank. This valve, located at the driver seat, on the panel to the right of the driver, is clearly
marked and easily operated.
E. FUEL FILTER
Fuel filters are installed on each engine. (Yamaha has an additional fuel filter/water separator in the stern of
the boat.) Filters should be changed frequently to assure an adequate supply of fuel to the engine. Refer to the
engine manual for additional information. The engine manual is included in the owner’s information packet. Fuel
filters mounted in the vicinity of batteries, have a dielectric shield to protect against accidental short-circuiting. When
servicing, remove any batteries in vicinity of filter, if shield is removed.
F. FUEL STANDARDS
Be cautious when using gasoline that contains alcohol. Refer to the section on gasoline requirements in your
engine manual for additional information. The use of alcohol additives in gasoline has become more widespread.
Regulations on public notification of the existence of additives are currently controlled by the Environmental
Canister-type filters should be changed annually.
