Fuel System
To determine whether a fuel flow problem is in your fuel system or your engine, follow this
simple method. Connect a portable tank to the engine and operate the engine. If the problem
persists, the likely cause is with the engine itself. If the problem goes away, the source must be in
the boats’ fuel system. One component that should be inspected if a restriction occurs is the anti-
siphon valve. If fuel does not flow properly through this part, it must be cleaned and/or replaced.
W A R N I N G
Do not remove the anti-siphon valve and replace with a regular barb. Modification or removal of
the anti-siphon valve could allow a dangerous accumulation of fuel and vapors in the hull in the
event of a fuel system leak.
Annually conduct a detailed inspection of fuel system components, especially those hidden
from routine inspection. Replace any fittings, deteriorated hoses, clamps or connections
immediately. Fuel filter/water separators should be replaced at least annually.
