FUEL SYSTEMS
Your Corsair Foiler 2200 is equipped with internal fuel
tank system, consisting of port, starboard fuel fillers,
fuel vents, sender units and the tanks themselves.
Fuel Fill Plate
The filler plates are located on each side of the boat, on
top of the coaming and are labeled "Gas". Be sure to
utilize the proper grade of fuel as specified in your
engines owner's manual.
Fuel Filter
The fuel filter is installed near the engine. The filter
should be replaced frequently to maintain an adequate
supply of clean, uncontaminated fuel to the engine.
Fuel Vent
The internal fuel tank is vented overboard. While the
tank is being filled, the air is expelled by the fuel and
escapes through the fuel vent.
Sending Unit
This sends a signal to the fuel gauges on the console to
give an indication of how much fuel is stored in each
tank.
Fuel Tank
The internal fuel tank is accessible through a remov-
able hatch cover and is equipped with a fuel vent line,
fuel fill line, sending unit, and engine fuel pickup as
shown in Figure 2.1. Each tank holds 44 US Gallons.
Fueling
Before fueling, you should follow these procedures.
> Make sure the boat is securely moored.
> Make sure all switches are off and all cigarettes
are extinguished.
> Know the location of the fire extinguisher in case
of an emergency.
> Remove the fuel fill cap.
> Place the nozzle firm against the side of the open-
ing.
> Begin fueling
> When the tank is full, stop fueling.
> Remove the fuel nozzle.
> Install the fuel cap.
> Check the area for fuel odors.
If fuel odors are detected, do not start the engine!
Check to make certain there are no leaks or system
problems before starting the engine. Do not fill the fuel
tank while engine is running; fuel is very flamable.
DRAINAGE
All water drains from your Corsair Foiler 2200 by
gravity. Your boat is self-bailing at rest. It is important
to check drains frequently to make sure they are clear
and free flowing. Review the schematic in the appen-
dix and become familiar with the location of each thru-
hull drain.
Drain System Maintenance
Essential tasks must be done periodically to maintain
your boat's ability to drain in adverse conditions.
> Clean cockpit drains to remove debris and for-
eign objects, which could prevent boat from
draining properly.
> Check bilge area for debris and foreign material,
which can cause automatic switches to malfunc-
tion.
> Flush drains to keep free flowing and clean.
Cockpit Drains
Your Corsair Foiler 2200, drains aft thru two cockpit
drains located in the aft corners of the cockpit. These
exit the boat through the side. These should be
checked periodically to make sure they are clear run-
ning and free from debris. When washing the boat
down, after use, use a hose nozzle with a high-pressure
stream to make sure they are free running.
The outboard well also has two drains located in the aft
corner. These exit the boat through the transom. These
should be checked periodically to make sure they are
clear running and free from debris.
