FUEL SYSTEM
3.1 General
The gasoline fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements
of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and The American Boat and Yacht
Council in effect at the time of manufacture.
All gasoline fuel systems have been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with
regulations in effect at the time of manufacture. This inspection assures that the system is air
tight, leak proof and safe. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to maintain it in that condition.
Make frequent inspections to assure that no deterioration or loosening of connections is resulting
from vibration.
DO NOT LET THE ODOR OF GASOLINE GO UNCHECKED. ANY ODOR OF GASO-
LINE MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND STEPS TAKEN TO PROTECT
THE BOAT AND ITS OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. IF THE
ODOR OF GASOLINE IS NOTED, SHUT OFF ALL ENGINES AND ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT. INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY.
HAVE ALL PASSENGERS PUT ON PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND KEEP A
FIRE EXTINGUISHER READY UNTIL THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED.
Fuel Withdrawal Tubes
The fuel withdrawal tubes are positioned in the fuel tanks to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel
line routing, etc. At certain speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tank
location can increase or decrease accordingly. Be extremely careful when attempting to operate
the boat when low on fuel. Though some fuel may be in the tank, the relative trim angle of the
boat may cause the fuel to flow away from the withdrawal.
Fuel Gauge
This indicates the amount of fuel in the tanks. Due to the
mechanical nature of the fuel senders, variations in readings
during various speeds of operation may occur. This system
is merely a relative indication of the available fuel supply
and not a calibrated instrument. The fuel gauge switch
located on the helm is used to switch the gauge reading to
the port or starboard fuel tank.
