3.4 Fueling Instructions
FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE. BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING THE
FUEL TANKS. NO SMOKING. NEVER FILL THE TANK WHILE
AN ENGINE IS 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 FOR GASOLINE ENGINES OR
DIESEL FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINES. DO NOT USE FUEL THAT
CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN ALCOHOL BLEND. ANY
DAMAGE DONE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT
OF USE OF AN ALCOHOL BLEND IS NOT COVERED BY THE
SCOUT WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER
OWNER’S MANUAL REGARDING FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR
YOUR ENGINES.
DO NOT CONFUSE THE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE
WATER OR WASTE PUMP OUT DECK PLATE. THESE PLATES
ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. THE DIESEL FUEL FILL DECK
PLATE IS LOCATED CLOSE TO WASTE PUMP OUT DECK
PLATE AND YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL NOT TO ACCIDENTLY
PUMP DIESEL FUEL INTO THE WASTE HOLDING TANK. IF
GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO
THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP
IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD
RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE SCOUT CUSTOMER
SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE
FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
To fill the fuel tank at a marina, follow
this procedure:
1. Make sure all switches are in the OFF posi
-
tion.
2. Make sure the boat is securely moored.
3. Make sure all passengers leave the boat.
4. Estimate how much fuel is needed and
avoid over filling the tank.
NOTICE:
When the fuel tank is full, fuel will come out
through the fuel vent. The fuel vents are
located on the side of the hull.
5. A special key to open the fuel cap is sup-
plied.
6. Turn the key counter clockwise to open the
cap.
7. Remove the cap.
8. 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.
SPILLED FUEL IS DANGEROUS AND CAN YELLOW FIBERGLASS
OR IGNITE. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF FUEL
IS SPILLED ON THE DECK, USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL
AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CLOTH ON SHORE. IF FUEL
IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION.
FUEL FLOATS ON TOP OF THE WATER AND CAN IGNITE. IF
EXCESS FUEL IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY
EVACUATE THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE
PROPER OFFICIALS.
9. Fill the fuel tank slightly less than the rated
capacity to allow for expansion to avoid
spilling fuel out of the vents and fuel fills.
10. Remove the nozzle.
11. Install and tighten the fuel cap. Be careful
not to overtighten the cap.
12. Check the fuel compartment and below the
deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel, do
not start the engines.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT
START THE ENGINES WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL
FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.
MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED
IMMEDIATELY.
