Fuel System
The fuel valve is labeled “PORT” and “STBD.” The
labels refer to the fuel tank the valve selects. To
keep the boat properly balanced the fuel supply
should be managed by switching tanks every six
hours of generator operation.
The generator withdrawal tube is shorter than
the main engine withdrawal tubes to prevent
the generator from consuming the reserve fuel.
Therefore, the generator will run out of fuel if the
fuel level in either fuel tank drops below 1/4 of
the tank.
A water separating fuel filter is located near the
generator with diesel engines and on the generator
near fuel pump with gas engines. Water is drained
from the diesel fuel filter by placing a cup below
the filter and draining through the petcock at the
bottom of the filter until clean fuel flows. The diesel
filter should be checked for water before each trip.
The filter cartridge should be replaced on diesel
or gas generators when the main engine fuel filter
cartridges are changed. Diesel fuel systems have
a shut-off valve that is located on the fuel line
near the filter. The valve should always be closed
before servicing the fuel filter.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE
GENERATOR fUEL SELECTOR VALVE bE USED TO
MANAGE THE fUEL DURING NORMAL GENERATOR
OPERATION. If THE TANKS ARE NOT SWITCHED
EVERY SIX HOURS Of GENERATOR OPERATION, IT
WILL CAUSE THE bOAT TO bECOME UNbALANCED
AND LIST WHICH COULD AffECT HANDLING AND
THE SAfE OPERATION Of THE bOAT.
