Note: Clean fuel is especially important in fuel injected engines and the engine
manufacturer's recommendations for fuel filter maintenance must be followed
exactly.
3.3 Diesel Engine Fuel System
The diesel fuel system works much like the gas system. The main difference is the diesel
system is not equipped with an anti-siphon valve and there is a fuel return line for the engine.
There is also an additional fuel valve located near the fuel filter that is used to shut off the fuel
when the filters require service or when replacing the filter element.
Proper diesel engine operation requires a good supply of clean, dry diesel fuel. Improper
marina fuel storage techniques, limited boat usage, etc. can cause the fuel to become contami-
nated. Periodically, it may be necessary to siphon accumulating water and contaminated fuel
from the bottom of the fuel tank. If the fuel system on your boat becomes contaminated, contact
your dealer or Pursuit Customer Relations for assistance.
Algae can grow in the accumulated water in diesel fuel tanks. This condition is most prevalent
in warm climates. Periodically adding a high quality diesel fuel additive containing an
algaecide may be required to control algae in your boating area. Please contact your dealer
or engine manufacturer for additional information regarding fuels and additives.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the boat to sit unused for an extended period with the fuel
tank less than full. Changes in temperature and weather conditions
can cause condensation in fuel tanks that are less than 3/4 full.
Diesel Fuel Filter
The diesel fuel filters are installed in the engine
compartment. A shut-off valve is located at the
fuel filter. Check the filters for water before
each use and replace the filter cartridge as
needed. Follow the filter manufacturer’s in-
structions for cleaning and replacing the filter
element.
Water is drained from the filters by placing a
cup under the filter and draining through the
petcock at the bottom of the filter until clean
fuel flows. The filter element must be changed at least twice a season or more frequently
depending on the quality of the fuel and the hours run.
IMPORTANT: Diesel fuel systems may need to be primed after servicing. Refer to the
engine owner’s manual for information on priming the fuel system.
