Fuel System
the pump nozzle shutoff valve has activated. This
could force fuel into the vent system and damage
emission control components.
The fuel fill cap is opened by turning the cap
counter clockwise until it can be removed. After
refueling, replace the fill cap and tighten until it
clicks, indicating that the cap has been properly
closed and the fill system is sealed. Wash the
areas around the fuel fill if any fuel splashed on
the deck or hull during filling operations. Residual
fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dan-
gerous and will yellow the fiberglass or damage
the striping.
Be sure to use the proper type and grade fuel.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for additional
information.
WARNING
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATE WITH THE WATER
OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO
LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE IS ACCIDENTALLY
PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE
NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE MONTEREY
CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN
HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
Fuel Tank Vents
In order to comply with U.S. EPA regulations,
the fuel tank is equipped with a special vent
located on the hull side and vent system emission
control components. A carbon filled canister in
the vent hose between the fuel tank and the vent
absorbs fuel vapors before they can escape to the
atmosphere and returns them to the fuel tank.
Carbon canisters can be damaged if they are re-
peatedly exposed to liquid fuel. Special valves in
the vent system and the automatic shutoff valve
on marina fuel pump nozzles prevent the tank
from being overfilled and forcing fuel into the vent
system. You should never attempt to “top off” the
tank after the pump nozzle shutoff has activated.
This could force fuel into the vent system that can
damage the carbon canister or other components.
5.2 Engine Fuel Delivery System
The fuel system has one fuel tank located in the
center of the bilge below the cockpit sole. The
tank is equipped with two fuel withdrawal tubes.
Each fuel withdrawal line is equipped with an anti-
siphon valve where the line attaches to the fuel
tank. This valve prevents gasoline from siphoning
out of the fuel tank should a line rupture.
CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE THE ANTI-SIPHON VALVES FROM THE
SYSTEM. SHOULD THE VALVE BECOME CLOGGED, CLEAN
AND REINSTALL OR REPLACE.
On most engine installations, the fuel filters for
are mounted on each engine. The filters are the
water separator type and should be serviced fre-
quently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry
fuel to the engines. It is recommended that the
filters are inspected periodically and the elements
changed as needed.
There are primer bulbs in the aft storage com-
partment that are used to prime the fuel system
after service or as required. See Fuel System
Maintenance and the engine owner’s manual for
additional information on the fuel filters and the
outboard engine fuel system.
Notice:
The procedure to prime the fuel system on
outboard engines is specific to the type and
model of engines on your boat. You should
refer to engine manufacturer owner’s manu-
al for the priming procedure for your engines.
