Your Sea Ray
®
is equipped with a fuel tank vent
for each tank which serves as a pressure/vacuum
release and safety overflow. The through-hull
fitting has a flame arrester, making it imperative
that you keep the screen clean and in excellent
repair. Replace the screen immediately if it
becomes damaged or displaced. Periodically
check the vent to assure that it is not clogged.

The generator crossover fuel system allows fuel to
be drawn from either port or starboard tank, This
allows switching to an alternate tank in case of fuel
contamination or for even fuel weight distribution.
During normal operating conditions set the feed and
return fuel valves to the same tank. Example: If the
feed valve is set to the port tank, set the return to
the port tank. Remember, fuel will be consumed
faster in fuel tank selected for generator use. You
might want to select other fuel tank for generator
periodically for even weight distribution.
The generator crossover fuel board is located in
the starboard cockpit side storage.

ECOMMENDATIONS
The quality of the fuel is very important for
satisfactory engine performance and long engine
life. Fuel should be clean and free of contamination.
Your fuel tanks should be kept full of fuel whenever
possible. This will reduce the amount of water
condensation and reduce the possibility of
contamination.

reserve when planning fuel consumption.
