DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK
PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR DIE-
SEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT AT-
TEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO PUMP FUEL AND FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. HAVE THE FUEL PROFES-
SIONALLY REMOVED AND THE COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM RE-
PLACED AS NECESSARY.
FUEL VENTS
There are two fuel vent fittings for the gasoline fuel tanks, one on each side of the hull. While the tank is being
filled, the air displaced by the fuel escapes through the vent. After fueling, replace the fill cap(s), and wash
the areas around the fuel fill plates and below the fuel vent(s). Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides
can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping.
3.2 Fuel System
The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 3480 has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF” fuel valves. Refer
to the Schematics section of this manual. The fuel valves are located on the fuel filters and are accessed through
the hatch under the aft seat. The valves are off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow. The fuel
valves allow the operator to run the engines from both tanks or from either the aft tank, which fills from the
port gunwale, or the forward tank, which fills
from the starboard gunwale.
During normal operation, the port engine is
supplied fuel from the forward tank (tank 1)
and the starboard engine supplied fuel from the
aft tank (tank 2). The starboard filter supplies
the starboard engine and the port filter supplies
the port engine. The fuel valves on each filter
are labeled fore and aft. The labels refer to the
tank the fuel is being drawn from. If a fuel
supply problem should occur in one of the fuel tanks, both engines can be temporarily operated from either
the fore or aft fuel tank by opening both valves. The fuel valves on the port filter should be off when operating
both engines on the forward tank and the fuel valves on the starboard filter should be off when operating both
engines on the aft tank. Operating the boat with all four fuel valves open is not recommended and should be
avoided.
The engines will not draw fuel equally from the fuel tanks when the fuel valves are set so both engines are
operating from both tanks (all four fuel valves open). This could result in one tank being exhausted of fuel
while the other tank is partially full, causing fuel supply problems.
Fuel withdrawal lines are equipped with anti-siphon valves where the lines attach to the fuel tanks. These
valves prevent gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture.
DO NOT REMOVE THE ANTI-SIPHON VALVES FROM THE SYSTEM. SHOULD AN ANTI-
SIPHON VALVE BECOME CLOGGED, CLEAN AND REINSTALL OR REPLACE. IF A FUEL
LINE SHOULD LEAK, ANTI-SIPHON VALVES PREVENT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
FUEL FROM FLOWING INTO THE BILGE. ANTI-SIPHON VALVES ARE REQUIRED, BY
THE U.S. COAST GUARD, TO BE INSTALLED IN ALL BOATS EQUIPPED WITH GASO-
LINE ENGINES.
