3.5 Fueling Instructions
FUEL IS VERY FLAMMABLE AND THE VAPORS
CAN EXPLODE. BE CAREFUL WHEN FILLING THE
FUEL TANKS. NO SMOKING. NEVER FILL THE
TANKS WHILE THE ENGINES ARE RUNNING. FILL
THE FUEL TANKS IN AN OPEN AREA. DO NOT
FILL THE TANKS NEAR OPEN FLAMES.
TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE FUEL SYSTEM,
USE ONLY A GOOD GRADE OF GASOLINE FOR
GASOLINE ENGINES OR DIESEL FUEL FOR
DIESEL ENGINES. DO NOT USE A FUEL THAT
CONTAINS HARSH ADDITIVES OR IS AN
ALCOHOL BLEND. ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE
FUEL SYSTEM THAT IS THE RESULT OF USE OF
AN ALCOHOL BLEND, IS NOT COVERED BY THE
MONTEREY WARRANTY. REFER TO THE ENGINE
MANUFACTURER OWNER’S MANUAL
REGARDING FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR
ENGINE.
To fill the fuel tanks at a marina, follow this
procedure:
• Make sure the boat is securely moored.
• Make sure all switches are in the “OFF”
position.
• Make sure all passengers leave the boat.
• Close all windows and hatches and make sure
the blower is off to prevent fuel fumes from
entering the cabin or engine compartment.
GASOLINE FUEL VAPORS THAT ACCUMULATE
IN THE CABIN OR ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE
FUELING CAN EXPLODE!! FUEL VAPORS ARE
HEAVIER THAN AIR AND CAN ACCUMULATE IF
THEY ARE CARRIED BY THE WIND INTO THE
CABIN AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT THROUGH
OPEN DOORS, WINDOWS, HATCHES OR VENTS.
VAPORS CAN ALSO BE DRAWN INTO THE
ENGINE COMPARTMENT BY THE BLOWERS.
ALWAYS TURN THE BILGE BLOWERS OFF AND
CLOSE CABIN WINDOWS, DOORS AND HATCHES
BEFORE FUELING.
• Estimate how much fuel is needed and avoid
overfilling the fuel tanks.
Note: When the fuel tank is full, fuel will come
out through the fuel tank vent. The fuel
tank vents are located on the side of
the boat. Monitor the vents closely
while fueling to prevent fuel from spill-
ing into the water.
• A special key to open the fuel cap is supplied.
• Turn the key counter clockwise to open the
cap.
• Remove the cap.
• Put the nozzle in the fuel opening and make
sure it stays in contact with the fuel fill open-
ing.
STATIC ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY FLOWING
FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. TO
PREVENT STATIC SPARKS WHEN FILLING THE
TANK, MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE IS ALWAYS IN
CONTACT WITH THE FUEL FILL OPENING.
SPILLED FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN
EXPLOSION. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL
ANY FUEL. IF A SMALL AMOUNT OF FUEL IS
SPILLED ON THE FIBERGLASS, USE A CLOTH
TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE
OF THE CONTAMINATED CLOTH. IF FUEL IS
SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION. FUEL FLOATS ON THE SURFACE OF
THE WATER AND CAN IGNITE. IF FUEL IS
SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY
EVACUATE THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA
AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS.
• Fill the tank slightly less than the rated ca-
pacity to avoid spilling fuel out of the vent or
the fuel fill and to allow for expansion.
• Remove the nozzle.
• Install the fuel cap.
• Open all hatches, windows and doors. Run
the blower for at least four minutes to com-
pletely ventilate the boat.
• Check the fuel compartment and below the
deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel, do not
start the engine.
