Section 3 Fuel System

C230

Fuel Tanks

The fuel pick-up tubes are positioned in the

tanks to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel

line routing, etc. At certain speeds and hull

trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal

tube can increase or decrease accordingly.

Be extremely careful 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 pickup tubes.

Fuel Gauge Senders

The fuel gauge senders are more accurate

when the boat is stationary and level.

Because of the change in attitude when the

boat is underway, variations in gauge read-

ings can occur. This system is a relative indi-

cation of the available fuel supply and not a

calibrated instrument.

Fuel Fills

A fuel fill deck plate is located on the gun-

wale and is marked “GAS.” The fuel fill is

opened by turning it counterclockwise with a

special key. After fueling, install the fuel cap

and tighten with the key; DO NOT over

tighten. Use only the fuel recommended by

the outboard manufacturer; refer to the

engine owner’s manual for additional infor-

mation.

If fuel is added to any other tank, DO NOT

attempt to pump fuel out; these systems are

not designed to pump fuel. Fuel must be

removed by qualified personal only. Fuel in

other systems will also require replacement

of that system and/or many components.

Fuel Vent

There is a vent for the fuel tank on the hull

side. While the tank is being filled, air dis-

placed by the fuel will escape from the vent.

Do not allow fuel to be expelled from the

vent and pollute our environment. Fill the

fuel tank slowly and monitor the fuel gauge

while filling. Spilled fuel can be dangerous.

Wash the areas around the fuel fill plates

and below the fuel vent to help reduce dis-

coloration of fiberglass or striping.
