Section 3 Fuel System
OS 325
The diesel system is not equipped with anti-
siphon valves and there is a fuel return line
to return unused fuel to the fuel tank. The
diesel system may require priming after ser-
vicing. Refer to the generator owner's man-
ual for information on priming.
Make sure the fuel valve is in the “ON” posi-
tion before attempting to start the generator.
A water separator type fuel filter is installed
near the diesel fuel tank. The fuel filter has a
sediment bowl that must be inspected fre-
quently for water to ensure an adequate
supply of clean, water-free fuel is supplied to
the engine. Inspect the filter periodically and
change the element as needed.
3.4 Fueling Instructions
Try not to spill fuel. If fuel is spilled, wipe up
all traces with dry rags and immediately dis-
pose of the rags properly onshore. DO NOT
allow fuel to stay on the finish of the boat,
discoloration and damage to trim can occur.
Avoid fueling at night, except under well-
lighted conditions. Also, monitor fuel level
gauge to avoid overfilling.
To fill fuel:
1. Turn all switches to "OFF."
2. Secure boat.
3. Remove passengers from boat.
4. Extinguish all flame producing items.
5. Open fuel fill(s) by turning counterclock-
wise.
6. Put nozzle in the fuel fill opening.
7. The fuel delivery system will shut off
when the tank is filled to the proper
capacity.
8. Remove the nozzle.
9. Install and tighten fuel cap until it clicks.
10. Check the fuel compartment and below
the deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel,
DO NOT start engines until the source is
isolated and repairs have been made.
Fuel System Maintenance
Spray the valves, fuel tank gauge sender
and ground connections with a metal protec-
tor.
Inspect the fuel fill cap o-ring seals fre-
quently and lubricate with petroleum jelly or
silicone grease. The o-ring seal prevents
water from entering the fuel system through
the fuel fill cap. If the o-ring is damaged, or
you suspect it is damaged, replace it.

DANGER
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Gasoline vapors are highly explosive
when exposed to open flame or spark,
resulting in death or serious injury.
•
Stop engines before fueling.
• DO NOT smoke or allow open
flames or sparks nearby, within 50
ft (15 m) of the fueling area.
• Maintain contact between fuel noz-
zle and fuel tank fill to prevent
electrostatic spark. DO NOT use a
plastic funnel.
• Fill in an open area.
BURN HAZARD
Fuel floating on water which is ignited
can cause death or serious injury.
Fuel will float on top of water and can
burn. If the boat is abandoned, swim
upwind, far enough to avoid fuel that
can spread over the surface of the
water.

DANGER
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARD
Fuels are extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. DO NOT smoke or allow open
flames or sparks nearby when
inspecting the fuel system.
Frequently check fuel lines and all
system components (filters, primer
bulbs, clamps and connections) for
leaks, damage or deterioration, or if
you suspect damage, replace as nec-
essary. Surface cracking on a hose
indicates wear. Replace it.
