Fuel Fills

A fuel fill deck plate is located on each gunwale and is marked “GAS.” The

fuel fill is opened by turning it counter clockwise with a special key. After

fueling, install the fuel cap and tighten with the key. Be sure to use the proper

type and grade fuel. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for additional

information.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE FUEL CAP. IF THE CAP IS OVERTIGHTENED, THE O-

RING SEAL COULD BE DAMAGED ALLOWING WATER TO CONTAMINATE THE FUEL

SYSTEM.

DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL

DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE OR

DIESEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT AT-

TEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED

TO PUMP FUEL AND FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. HAVE THE FUEL PROFES-

SIONALLY REMOVED AND THE COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM RE-

PLACED AS NECESSARY.

Fuel Vents

There are two fuel vent fittings for the gasoline fuel tanks, one on each side of the hull. While the tank is being

filled, the air displaced by the fuel escapes through the vent. After fueling, replace the fill cap(s), and wash

the areas around the fuel fill plates and below the fuel vent(s). Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides

can be dangerous, and will yellow the fiberglass or damage the striping.

3.2 Fuel System Management

The outboard fuel system on the Pursuit 2670 Cuddy Console has two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF”

fuel valves that are labeled to indicate the engine the valve will supply. Refer to the Schematics section of

this manual. The fuel valves are located on the top of the fuel tanks below the inspection plates in the rear

of the cockpit. The valves are off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow. The fuel valves allow

the operator to run the engines from both tanks or from either the port tank, which fills from the port gunwale,

or the starboard tank, which fills from the starboard gunnel.

During normal operation, the port engine should be supplied fuel from the port tank and the starboard engine

supplied fuel from the starboard tank. The fuel valves on each tank are labeled port and starboard. The labels

refer to the engine the valve supplies. If a fuel supply problem should occur in one of the fuel tanks, both

engines can be temporarily operated from either the port or starboard fuel tank by opening both valves on that

tank. The fuel valves on the port tank should be off when operating both engines on the starboard tank and

the fuel valves on the starboard tank should be off when operating both engines on the port tank. Operating

the boat with all four fuel valves open is not recommended and should be avoided.

The engines will not draw fuel equally from the fuel tanks when the fuel valves are set so both engines are

operating from both tanks (all four fuel valves open.) This could result in one tank being exhausted of fuel

while the other tank is partially full, causing fuel supply problems.
