2019 Malibu Boats, LLC Owner’s Manual • Page 103
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 Owner’s Manual.
The fuel system, including
the fuel lines, pump-in-tank
filter and pump, 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.
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!
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 on-shore.
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.
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.
Do not over-fill the fuel tank.
Doing so can cause spillage,
which is an environmental
hazard. Fuel tanks also
expand and contract slightly to adjust to ambient air
temperature. Over-filling can reduce the ability of the tank
to respond, which can cause damage to the fuel system
and/or boat, which is not covered under warranty.
Review the Care and Maint-
enance section of this Owner’s
Manual for important infor-
mation regarding the proper fuel to use, how to maintain
the fuel if the boat will not be used for a period of time,
and other important information regarding the safe use
of gasoline in the boat. Always include a pre- and post-
outing inspection of the fuel system.
Use of incorrect fuel can
result in damage to the
engine that is not covered by
Malibu. Failure to follow maintenance requirements may
also void the warranties.
Malibu recommends returning to shore and refueling whenever
the fuel gauge indicates that the fuel load has fallen below one-
quarter (1/4) of a tank full. It has also been determined that
continuous operation with ballast significantly loaded either
port or starboard (rather than evenly distributed) can result in
