Fuel System
Fueling the Boat
In order to comply with U.S. EPA emission regula-
tions, Scout boats are equipped with special fuel
systems that reduce the flow of fuel vapors from
the fuel system to the atmosphere when fueling
operations are complete.
These fuel systems meet U.S. EPA emission stan-
dards and are designed to maintain a specific air
space at the top of the fuel tank that provides
proper tank ventilation and protection for emission
control components. Special valves in the fuel
tank vent and fill systems and a shutoff valve in
marina fuel pump nozzles are designed to auto-
matically stop the fuel flow when the tank is full
and maintain this air space.
Notice:
When the fuel tank is full, the shutoff valve in
the marina fuel pump nozzle will activate and
automatically shut off the flow, indicating
that the tank is filled to the maximum level.
You should stop filling the tank at this point
and never attempt to “top off” the tank. At
-
tempting to “top off” the tank could damage
fuel level control valves.
WARNING
STATIC ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY FLOWING FUEL
CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. TO PREVENT STATIC
SPARKS WHEN FILLING THE TANK, MAKE SURE THE
NOZZLE IS ALWAYS IN CONTACT WITH THE FUEL FILL
OPENING
To fill the fuel tank, follow this procedure:
• The fuel cap is hinged and does not require a
key. Press the release button on the side of
the cap and swing it open for fueling.
• Make sure the nozzle is equipped with an
automatic shutoff valve. Then put the nozzle
in the fuel fill opening and make sure it stays
in contact with the fuel fill fitting during the
entire fueling operation.
• Fill the tank until the shutoff valve in the pump
nozzle clicks and automatically stops the fuel
flow.
• Remove the nozzle and close the cap.
WARNING
F U E L TA N K C O N T E N T S C A N B E U N D E R P R E S S U R E.
TO AV O I D S E R I O U S I N J U RY O R D E AT H F R O M F I R E
OR EXPLOSION, OPEN FUEL CAP SLOWLY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES.
WARNING
SPILLED FUEL CAN CAUSE A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.
MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF A SMALL
AMOUNT OF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE FIBERGLASS, USE A
CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF
THE CONTAMINATED CLOTH. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE
WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAUTION. FUEL FLOATS ON
THE SURFACE OF THE WATER AND CAN IGNITE. IF FUEL
IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE
THE AREA AND NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE PROPER
OFFICIALS.
Preparing the Boat For Operation
Use the following procedure to prepare the boat for
operation when fueling operations are complete:
• Open all hatches, windows and doors.
• Check the fuel compartment and below the
deck for fuel odors. If you smell fuel, do not
start the engines.
5.4 Fuel System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all primer bulbs, connections,
clamps and hoses for leakage, damage or deterio-
ration. Replace as necessary. Spray the valves,
tank fuel gauge sender and ground connections
with a metal protector.
Notice:
Access to the fuel tank sending unit is located
below a small removable hatch that is acces-
sible when the cooler slide assembly in the
helm seat base is pulled out and the cooler
is removed.
Frequently inspect and lubricate the fuel fill cap
seal with Teflon or silicone grease. The seal
prevents water from entering the fuel system
through the fuel fill cap and it should be immedi
-
ately replaced if there is any sign of damage or
deterioration.
