FUEL SYSTEM

3.1 General

The gasoline fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet or exceed the requirements

of the U.S. Coast Guard, the Boating Industry Association, and The American Boat and Yacht

Council in effect at the time of manufacture.

All gasoline fuel systems have been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with

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.

DO NOT LET THE ODOR OF GASOLINE GO UNCHECKED. ANY ODOR OF GASO-

LINE MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND STEPS TAKEN TO PROTECT

THE BOAT AND ITS OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. IF THE

ODOR OF GASOLINE IS NOTED, SHUT OFF ALL ENGINES AND ELECTRICAL

EQUIPMENT TO INVESTIGATE AND CORRECT THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY.

HAVE ALL PASSENGERS PUT ON PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND KEEP

THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER READY UNTIL THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED.

Fuel Withdrawal Tubes

The fuel withdrawal tubes are positioned in the fuel tank to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel line

routing, etc. At certain speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tank location

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 relative trim angle of the boat may

cause the fuel to flow away from the withdrawal.

Fuel Gauge

This indicates the amount of fuel in the tank. Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel sender,

variations in readings during various speeds of operation may occur. This system is merely a

relative indication of the available fuel supply and not a calibrated instrument.

Fuel Fill

The fuel fill deck plate is located on each gunnel, 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.
