A. SystemTesting
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.
Single fuel tank applications have the tanks located for-
ward of the engine. Where as in twin engine applica-
tions, the port and starboard fuel tanks are located for-
ward of their respective engine. See Figures I1 & I2
below. The capacity of the fuel tank(s) may be found on
our website at www.fourwinns.com.

of this section for fuel valve operations.
