the engine back to the fuel tank. If your boat is
equipped with the optional generator, the generator
draws fuel from the port fuel tank.
Fuel Transfer Pump
A fuel transfer pump is included with the diesel fuel
system. Because the optional generator draws fuel only
from the port fuel tank, the fuel levels in the tanks may
become unequal. If this occurs, use the fuel transfer
pump to pump fuel from one tank to the other until the
fuel levels are equal.
NOTE: You cannot transfer fuel from the auxiliary tank
to the forward tanks, only between the port and star-
board tanks.
To transfer fuel between fuel tanks:
1. On the Bridge Breaker Panel, switch the Main
circuit breaker "ON", then switch the Fuel Transfer
Pump circuit breaker "ON".
2. Check the fuel gauges at the helm station. Identify
the fuel tank that has the highest fuel level.
3. Turn the fuel transfer switch, located on the helm
instrument panel, to the fuel tank to which you
want the fuel to flow.
4. Monitor the fuel gauges as the fuel transfers. When
the fuel levels in the tanks are equal, stop transfer-
ring fuel.
Fuel Shut-Off Valves
Fuel shut-off valves are included with the diesel fuel
system. The valves are installed between the fuel lines,
both supply and return, and the fuel tank that they are
connected to. The valves are located on top of the fuel
tanks and must be open when operating the engines.
Do not operate the diesel engine with the return line’s
fuel shut-off valve closed. Doing so creates excessive
pressure within the fuel system that could lead to fuel
system failure.
