I - 1   GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEMS
Fuel fill deck plates are located either on the aft deck or
side decks, and are marked “GAS”. To open, push the
tab in and lift up on the cap. Be sure to utilize the proper
type and grade of  fuel.  See Section  I-3 for additional
information.
Gasoline fuel systems used in Four Winns® boats are
designed to meet or exceed the requirements of the U.S.
Coast Guard, the National Marine ManufacturersAsso-
ciation, and the American Boat and Yacht Council in ef-
fect at the time of manufacture.
The fuel fill fitting  allows for venting below the  fill cap.
While the tank is being filled, the air displaced by the fuel
escapes through  the fuel  fill/vent.   This reduces  the
amount of fuel spillage.  Always open the lid slowly to
allow air to escape. See Figure I1.
Tanks on Four Winns® boats are located forward of the
aft bilge compartment below the floor. Below is a list of
fuel tank capacities by model.

NOTICE
Use only clean fuel of the type and grade recom-
mended by the engine  manufacturer.  Engine
damage resulting from  the use of a lower  oc-
tane gasoline is considered misuse  of the en-
gine and will void the engine warranty. Refer to
the section  on Gasoline Requirements  in the
engine manual for information on octane specifi-
cations.
Figure I1:   Fuel Fill
The gasket  seal on the  fuel fill cap  assists in sealing
when closed.  A missing or damaged gasket can allow
water on the surrounding surfaces to run into the tank.
Periodically inspect the gasket and the fuel deck  plate
for damage.
A.   System Testing
All gasoline fuel systems have been  factory inspected
and pressure tested in  accordance with regulations in
effect at the time of manufacture. Additionally, each fuel
tank must pass rigid tests and inspections performed by
the fuel tank manufacturer.
DO NOT confuse GAS deck fill plate with
WATER or WASTE deck plates.  Deck fill
plates are labeled according to the intend
ed use.
Prior to taking delivery, it is important that a full inspec-
tion be  made of the  entire fuel  system by the  selling
dealer.  An entry on the Four Winns® Pre-Delivery  In-
spection Form portion of the Warranty Registration Card
will attest to the dealer’s performance of this service.
