SYSTEMS & COMPONENTS
If the P - Trap is closed or blocked from allowing vapor to
escape through the system, the vapors will escape
through the Fuel Vapor & Fresh Air Vent line, and
through the vent in the Deck Inlet.
Fuel / Water Separator:
Every SEA PRO boat is fitted with a Fuel /
Water Separator. This filter is located in
the bilge compartment, and normally
mounted to a vertical wall or surface.
Water is the most common contaminant
found in fuel, and is common found in
the fuel system of recreational vessels.
• Ethanol - boosted gas attracts
water in vessels that go unused
for prolonged periods.
•
The air space inside of a fuel tank that is less - than -
full contains moisture. Over time, moisture
condenses inside of the tank.
• Water can intrude fuel storage tanks through
poorly sealed fuel caps and vents.
•
Water can be introduced into the fuel directly by
the supplier.
Water is heavier than fuel, and over time, water can
collect at the bottom of the fuel tank with the fuel
floating on top. This water will enter the fuel lines going
to the engine and must be removed in order to protect
the engine. Water can rust and corrode internal engine
parts. Microbes can grow in the presence of water,
creating sludge and clogging the engine and it
’ s
components.
The fuel travels into the Fuel / Water Separator and
through a coalescing micron filter that changes small
water particles into larger droplets. Being that water is
heavier than fuel, these droplets fall by gravity, to the
lower part of the filter, with the clean fuel floating on
top. The clean fuel exits the top of the separator and on
to the engine.
It is imperative to regularly inspect the bowl, or lower
part, of the separator. As the separator performs it
’ s job,
water will continue to collect in the lower unit.
Eventually, if the water is not drained from the unit, and
it collects to the top of the exiting connection,
contaminated fuel will begin to travel to the engine
causing performance issues and potential damage.
It is also recommended to change your Fuel / Water
Separator
’ s filter media during regular service intervals.
It is YOUR responsibility to determine maintenance and
care intervals based on your usage of the boat and the
operating environment.
Refer to the Engine Manufacturer Owner ’ s Manual for
further instructions, maintenance, and specification
information, or contact your local
