Engine & Controls
Your typical factory installed fuel system is comprised of a fuel fi ll
fi tting marked “gas”, fuel tank, fuel hoses, fuel vents, anti-siphon
valve, fuel fi lter, fuel pumps, fuel injectors, fuel gauge, sender and
canisters among other items.
You should understand the purposes of each of these components
and discover their location by reading the owner’s manual.
Fuel Fill Cap
Th e fuel fi ll is labeled with either “gas” or “diesel” and is normally
located along the starboard side of the boat on the aft portion of the
deck. When fueling, it is important to keep the fi ll nozzle in contact
with the fuel fi ll line since it decreases static electricity, which may
spark and ignite gasoline vapors. Always use the recommended fuel
octane rating as specifi ed in your engine owner’s manual. Extinguish
all fl ame producing agents before fueling.

OF THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
