6.3 FUEL SYSTEM
Due to the nature of the hull design, your World Cat is equipped with a port and starboard fuel system. These systems
act independently, providing fuel to the engine on their respective side. Tanks are constructed of polyethylene
material to prevent corrosion.
Hose are NMMA certified, and fittings are clamped securely to reduce the potential for leaks. However,
comprehensive checks of hoses and fittings should be completed at least annually, including those normally hidden
from view. Tighten all connections, replace deteriorated hoses, clamps or fittings, and replace the fuel/water
separators during this check. World Cat has provided inspection plates in the cockpit floor and along the gunwales to
assist you with annual maintenance. To access the inspection ports along the gunwale, you will need to remove the
cockpit bolsters by removing the scres that hold it in place. To access the screws, pull up gently on the bottom of the
bolster and locate the frain grommets. The factory installs screws in every other grommet to secure the bolster.
Remove these and pull up and out on the cushion to remove.
If you experience fuel flow problems, remove the fuel feed hose from your engine and connect it to a portable fuel
tank. Doing so will help you determine if your fuel system or the engine is the source of the problem. Fuel system
repairs and engine maintenance should be performed by a qualitifed marine technician.
The fuel/water separators are installed between the tank pickup and the engine. They are located in the aft rigging
space on all models except the 270TE, all 295 models and 330TE. On those models, they are mounted on the hullside
and can be reached through access doors on the cockpit walls. Inspect these filters regularly and replace when needed.
6.3.1 Fuel System Benefits
•
Automotive style refueling
•
Automotive Nozzle shut-off
•
Fuel Nozzle retention
•
System send signal to the pump nozzle to shut off before there is any spit-back through the fill opening
•
Overfill protection – reducing the possiblitiy of accidental fuel spills
•
Reduce hydrocarbon emmission through the use of specially designed fuel fill. The fuel fill has a
permanently attached cap with a positive closure mechanism with and audibile click, to let you know when
the cap is sealed.
6.3.2 Fuel Tank
Your boat is equipped with a low permeation crosslink Polyethylene fuel tank with a useable fuel capacity of 121
gallons per tank. The useable capacity of the fuel tank is different from the tank capacity marked on the tank from
the manufacturer. The difference is the non-useable portion of the tank which results from the fuel in the tank that is
below the pickup tube and the ullage area that has been incorporated into your tank. It is recommended that you
follow all the instructions regarding the filling of fuel tanks. Fuel tanks with levels less than ¼ full can cause engine
stalling problems due to fuel starvation or by allowing sediment and dirt to enter the fuel supply lines. Keep the tank
full and monitor the fuel level often to prevent this from happening.
6.3.3 Fuel Vent
The fuel tank vent is integrated into the fuel fill deck fitting (See fig. 6.3.6) The vent serves as an over
pressure/vacuum release with anti-surge and flame/spark arresting protection. The fuel vent system also plays an
important role in controlling the “FULL” level of fuel with the use of FLVV (Fill Limit Vent Valve). Grade Valves
have been added to the tank which allows proper ventilation of the tank when the boat is stored, or trailered, on a
moderate incline, without fuel. Note all ways inspect to insure the fuel fill deck fitting is free of debris and in proper
working condition.
