Fuel System
To fill the fuel tank, follow this procedure:
• The fuel caps are threaded or hinged and do
not require a key. Press the release button on
the side of hinged caps and swing it open or
twist the threaded caps counterclockwise until
it can be removed.
• 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. Make
sure to press down firmly on hinged caps or
tighten threaded caps until the cap clicks, indi-
cating that it is tight and the system is sealed.

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.
5.5 Fuel System Maintenance
Outboard Gasoline Fuel System
Periodically inspect all primer bulbs, connections,
clamps and hoses for leakage, damage or deterio-
ration. Replace as necessary. Spray the valves,
tank fuel gauge senders and ground connections
with a metal protector.
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.
Contaminated fuel may cause serious damage to
your engines. Fuel filters must be checked for
corrosion and deterioration frequently. Fuel filters
must be changed at least once a season or more
frequently depending on the type of engine and
the quality of the fuel. Refer to the engine or fuel
filter manufacturer’s instructions for information
on servicing and replacing the fuel filter.
The age of gasoline can effect engine performance.
Chemical changes occur as the gasoline ages that
can cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system
as well as reduce the octane rating of the fuel.
Severely degraded fuel can damage the engines
and boat fuel tanks and lines. Therefore, if your
boat is not being run enough to require at least
one full tank of fresh fuel a month, a fuel stabilizer
should be added to the gasoline to protect the
fuel from degradation. Your dealer or the engine
manufacturer can provide additional information
on fuel degradation and fuel stabilizers recom-
mended for your engine.
In many states, most gasoline is blended with
ethanol alcohol. Ethanol is a strong solvent and
can absorb water during periods of storage. You
should refer to the engine operating manual for
information regarding alcohol blended fuels and
how it affects the operation of your marine engine.
