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. Some models have a manual fuel
shut-off valve located at the fuel pickup tube on the fuel tank. This is used
in case of a break in the fuel hose running to the engine.
Contact your Ranger dealer for information on proper fuel shutoff valve
access.
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.
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 Protection Agency
(EPA). Some states do require that gasoline pumps display information
on additives (especially alcohol). If alcohol content is not posted, ask and
avoid using fuel containing alcohol if possible.
Although alcohol boosts the octane level in gasoline, it also attacks the

Maintenance or repairs should be

qualified personnel.

Canister-type filters should be changed
annually. NOTICE
