NOTICE
Use only clean, dry fuel of the type and grade
recommended by the engine manufacturer.
The use of incorrect or contaminated fuel can
cause engine malfunction and serious
damage. Engine damage resulting from the
use of a lower octane gasoline is considered
misuse of the engine and will void the engine
warranty. Refer to the section on Gasoline
Requirements in the engine manual for
information on octane specifications.

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 per-
formed by the fuel tank manufacturer.
In twin engine applications, the port and starboard fuel
tanks are located forward and outboard in relationship
to their respective engine. See Figure I1. The capacity
of the fuel tank(s) may be found on our website at
www.fourwinns.com.
Prior to taking delivery, it is important that a full
inspection be made of the entire fuel system by
the selling dealer. An entry on the Four Winns
Pre-Delivery Inspection Form portion of the Warranty
Registration Card will attest to the dealer’s perfor-
