Filling the Tank
NOTICE: Pay careful attention when filling the fuel tank. DO
NOT overfill the tank! Fuel may empty through the fuel vent
and damage the outside finish.
If fuel is spilled on stripes or decals, apply a common bath
cleaner (non-abrasive) and wipe with a damp cloth. Rinse spill
area with clean water.
Fuel Vent
The new fueling system prevents spillage from occurring. Air is
allowed to escape from the front and rear of the gas tank. Both
vents are on a central fuel line, which runs to a central holding
container for the vapor. The vapor is released over time. This
type of venting system allows for the tank to be filled without
building any back pressure. Without back pressure, spillage
should be completely eliminated from the fueling process.
This venting system doesn’t allow water to enter the fuel system.
In the unlikely event that water runs up against the fuel vent, the
fuel vent has a one-way valve. The one way valve allows for air
to release, but denies water from entering. The gas cap itself is
sealed with a rubber seal. When the gas cap is “clicked” closed
the seal prevents any water from entering the system.
Gasoline vapors are highly explosive!
The fuel cap is located on the rear deck, 2-4 feet from the stern.
To open, push the black tab located on the bottom side of
thegas cap. When the black tab is pushed, the gas cap will hinge
upward. To close, push the gas cap down. When the gas cap is
completely closed a “click” sound should be heard. The audible
“click” ensures that the gas cap is closed and sealed.
