Primary and secondary fuel filters are located on your
Sea Ray
®
to help keep the fuel as clean as possible.
Primary fuel filters are the Racor
®
water separating
fuel filters installed on the aft engine room bulkhead
(See fig. 5.1.1). The generator fuel filter is located
on the port support pole in the bilge. The secondary
fuel filters are located on the engines and should be
replaced in accordance with the Engine Owner’s
Manual.
NOTE:
Use of any methanol, gasohol or alcohol
based fuel additive will damage the fuel filter.

The generator crossover fuel system allows the
engines to draw fuel from either tank. This allows
switching to an alternate tank in case of fuel
contamination or for even fuel weight distribution.

ECOMMENDATIONS
The quality of the fuel is very important for
satisfactory engine performance and long engine
life. Fuel should be clean and free of contamination.
Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever
possible. This will reduce the amount of water
condensation and reduce the possibility of
contamination.

NOTE:
In rough seas, allow approximately 15%
reserve when planning fuel consumption.
During normal operating conditions set the feed and
return fuel valves to the same tank. Example: If
the feed valve is set to the port tank, set the return
to the port tank. Remember, fuel will be consumed
faster in fuel tank selected for generator use. You
might want to select other fuel tank for generator
periodically for even weight distribution.
The generator crossover fuel board is located in
the cockpit under the forward starboard bench seat.
