replacement parts may void any remaining warranty, per the
Malibu Limited Warranty Statement . Replacement parts do not
extend the warranty beyond its original period. Parts replaced
under the limited warranty become the property of Malibu
Monsoon Engines.
Warranty coverage may be denied in instances where the
emissions component(s) had been altered or damaged by
neglect, or there is evidence of failure to perform maintenance
as required by information provided within this manual. If other,
non-emission parts have been damaged as a result of failure to
properly maintain or repair an emissions-related component,
the non-emission component(s) may also not be covered under
the Malibu Limited Warranty. See the Care and Maintenance
section of the boat’s Owner’s Manual for information regarding
appropriate maintenance.

Malibu Fuel System
All Malibu models are equipped with the most up to date
fueling system available in the marine industry. The boats feature
pump-in-tank (PIT) fuel systems, which means the fuel pump is
located securely inside the fuel tank rather than at the engine.
There are many benefits to the PIT system, most significantly
in the prevention
of vapor lock and
improved filtration
of contaminants. A
camshaft-driven fuel
pump is also located
internally in the engine.
To maximize the
benefit of this type of
fuel pump, the entire
system is under high
pressure. That means that access to the pump and the pump-in-
tank fuel filter is only through fuel lines with a significant pounds-
per-square-inch (PSI) pressure to ensure proper operation.
As such, no one can or should ever attempt to access any
portion of the fuel system without proper training and proper
equipment.
The fuel lines are covered in orange “fire-sleeve” protective
covering so that they are easily identifiable, and consumers
should always avoid these lines, unless it is noted that one is
squeezed or pinched. If it is possible to alleviate this situation
safely, then do so. The preferable method, however, is to have
an authorized Malibu dealer’s trained service technician do so
and verify that no damage has been done to the line or other
equipment.
The Malibu fuel system from tank to plumbing to engine
meets or exceeds U.S. Coast Guard requirements (Sec. 183.540
Recreational Boating.) Because of the potential for a dangerous,
even catastrophic event if any part of the system fails, Malibu
strongly encourages all owners/operators to always be aware of
proper operation. Follow operational directives, maintenance
requirements and remain alert for visual signs or odors that
indicate the presence of fuel outside the contained fuel system.
Never replace any part of the fuel system except with approved
parts, and Malibu recommends always using your authorized
Malibu dealer for checks, service and repair of the fuel system.
Normally, if there is any issue arising from damage or leakage
in the fuel system a strong odor of gasoline will be present
and signifies that the engine should not be started due to the
danger of explosion from fumes. Even in the absence of a
gasoline odor, owners and operators should always visually check
the fuel system prior to operation, as directed in the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual.
Malibu recommends returning to shore and refueling
whenever the fuel gauge indicates that the fuel load has
DANGER
!
The flammability of gasoline and its explosive properties must always
be respected. At the first odor of gasoline, the engine should be shut
off and remain off until the source of the odor has been identified,
and the issue has been rectified. NEVER START THE ENGINE IF THE
ODOR OF GASOLINE IS PRESENT OR IF GASOLINE IS SEEN
ANYWHERE IN THE BOAT OTHER THAN THE FUEL SYSTEM!
DANGER
!
Never smoke or operate any spark-producing object within a fifty-foot
(50;) range of the boat when fueling. Fumes from gasoline are more
likely to produce an explosion and/or fire than the actual fuel. Be sure
that the fueling area is well-ventilated. If fuel is spilled, always clean
up with dry rags and dispose of properly onshore.
DANGER
!
The fuel system, including the fuel lines, pump-in-tank filter and pump
and engine mounted fuel filter, should never be serviced by any person
other than an authorized Malibu dealer’s trained service technician.
Special tools and training are required to safely service the fuel
system on all models.
DANGER
!
Replacement parts in any portion of the fuel system must be with
Malibu-authorized parts only! Use of unapproved parts could result in
a failure that creates a potentially explosive situation or the potential
for on-board fire.
DANGER
!
If fuel is spilled, always clean up with dry rags and dispose of properly
onshore.
Avoid inhaling or ingesting gasoline and/or fumes. If gasoline gets on
skin, immediately flush with copious amounts of fresh water on-shore;
if gasoline gets on clothing, immediately change clothing and do not
store gasoline-infused cloth on board the boat.
