FUEL SYSTEMS
Prior to taking delivery, it is important that a full inspec-
F - 1 GASOLINE FUEL SYSTEMS
tion be made of the entire fuel system by the selling
dealer. An entry on the Four Winns Pre-Delivery Inspec-
tion Form portion of the Warranty Registration Card will
attest to the dealer’s performance of this service.
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.
B. Fuel Fills
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 F-3 for additional
information.
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.
Fuel Tank Capacities
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 F1.

the section on Gasoline Requirements in the
engine manual for information on octane specifi-
cations.
Figure F1: 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
