Fuel Systems

3.1 General

The fuel systems used in Pursuit boats are

designed to meet the requirements of the

U.S. Coast Guard, the National Marine Man-

ufacturers Association (NMMA) and the

American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) in

effect at the time of manufacture.

The gasoline fuel system has been factory

inspected and pressure tested in accor-

dance with the regulations in effect at the

time of manufacture. This inspection

assures that the system is air tight, leak-

proof and safe. It is the responsibility of the

purchaser to maintain it in that condition.

Make frequent inspections to assure that no

deterioration or loosening of connections is

resulting from vibration.

Fuel Tanks

The positioning of fuel withdrawal tubes in

fuel tanks are set to achieve optimum fuel

usage, fuel line routing, etc. At certain

speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply

at the withdrawal tube location can increase

or decrease accordingly. Be extremely care-

ful when attempting to operate the boat

when low on fuel. Though some fuel may be

in the tank, the trim angle of the boat may

cause the fuel to flow away from the with-

drawal tube(s).

Fuel Gauge Senders

Fuel gauge senders are most accurate when

the boat is stationary and level. Due to the

ever-changing attitude of the boat when

underway, variations in readings may occur.

This system is merely a relative indication of

the available fuel supply and not a calibrated

instrument.

Fuel Fill

A fuel-fill deck plate is located on the gun-

wale and is marked “GAS.” Open the fuel-fill

by turning it counter clockwise with a special

key. After fueling, install the fuel cap and

tighten with the key. Only use the proper

type and grade fuel. Refer to the engine

owner’s manual for additional information.

! DANGER

Do not let the odor of gasoline go

unchecked. If the odor of gasoline is

noted, shut off all engines and electri-

cal equipment. Have all passengers

put on personal flotation devices and

keep a fire extinguisher ready. Investi-

gate and correct the situation immedi-

ately.

!NOTICE

Certain bulkhead areas are sealed in

accordance with U.S. Coast Guard

regulations that were in effect at the

date of manufacture of the boat.

Ensure any and all modifications to

bulkheads meet U.S. Coast Guard reg-

ulations.

! WARNING

Do not confuse fuel-fill deck plates

with the water or waste-fill deck

plates. Do not attempt to pump it out

any accidentally pumped gas or diesel

from water or waste tank. An explo-

sion can result if using a water or

waste pump to remove fuel due to

their design. Professionally have the

fuel removed replace fresh water com-

ponents as necessary.
