The fuel pickup tube, located inside the fuel tank, is equipped with a fine mesh screen filter.
Also, when supplied by the engine manufacturer, a fuel filter is installed on the engine.
Periodically replace the fuel filter to make sure it remains clean and free of debris.
Talk to your selling dealer or local marina about fuel additives that help prevent fungus or other buildup in your
fuel tank.

If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve.

The anti-siphon valve is a vital fuel system part.
If the fuel line ruptures, this valve will prevent the fuel from siphoning from the tank.
The valve is located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed line attaches to the tank.
The valve is spring loaded and is opened by fuel pump vacuum.
