Section 3 Fuel System

OS 255

Fuel Vent

The fuel vent is located on the side of the

hull. Air displaced while fueling escapes

through the vent. After fueling, replace the fill

cap and wash the areas around the fuel-fill

plate and below the fuel vent. Residual fuel

left on the deck and hull can be dangerous,

and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the

striping.

3.2 Fuel System

The fuel system on your Pursuit has one fuel

tank, mounted in the center of the bilge. One

or two withdrawal lines equipped with anti-

siphon valves attach to the fuel tank. These

valves prevent gasoline from siphoning out

of the fuel tank should a line rupture. Single

engine boats use one fuel withdrawal line.

Twin-engine boats use two fuel withdrawal

lines, one for each engine.

Gasoline Fuel Filter

Fuel filter(s) are installed in the stern of the

boat. The filters are the water separator type

and there is one filter for each engine fuel

line. Check each fuel filter for water fre-

quently to assure an adequate supply of

clean, dry fuel to the engines. Inspect the fil-

ters periodically and change the elements

once a season.

3.3 Fueling Instructions

! WARNING

Do not remove anti-siphon valves

from the fuel system. Should an anti-

siphon valve become clogged, clean

and reinstall or replace. If a fuel line

should leak, anti-siphon valves pre-

vent a substantial amount of fuel from

flowing into the bilge. The U.S. Coast

Guard requires all gas-powered boats

have anti-siphon valves.

! DANGER

To reduce the possibility of a fire or

explosion, make sure all electrical

switches are in the "off" position

before servicing the fuel system.

! WARNING

Do not drain any fuel in the bilge. This

can lead to a fire or explosion. Check

all fuel line fittings for leaks before

and after starting the engines follow-

ing any fuel system service.

! WARNING

Fuel is very flammable and can cause

a fire or an explosion. Be careful when

filling the fuel tanks. No smoking!

Never fill the tanks while the engines

are running. Fill the fuel tanks in an

open area. Do not fill the tanks near

open flames.
