Chapter 3:
FUEL SYSTEM
3.1 General
The gasoline and diesel 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 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
GASOLINE MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND STEPS TAKEN TO
PROTECT THE BOAT AND ITS OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS COR-
RECTED. IF THE ODOR OF GASOLINE IS NOTED, SHUT OFF THE ENGINE
AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT TO INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE SITU-
ATION IMMEDIATELY. HAVE ALL PASSENGERS PUT ON PERSONAL FLOTA-
TION DEVICES AND KEEP FIRE EXTINGUISHERS READY UNTIL THE SITUA-
TION IS RESOLVED.
Fuel Withdrawal Tube
The fuel withdrawal tube is positioned in the fuel tank 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 tank. Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender,
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.
