DIESEL ENGINE FUEL LINE ROUTING (IF EQUIPPED)
Fuel Fill & Vent
•
•
•
Depending on engine type, the fuel fill deck fitting is marked either GAS or DIESEL.
If you have problems filling the fuel tank, see if the fuel fill hose or fuel tank vent hose is kinked or collapsed.
If there are no visible signs of a problem, contact your local dealer.
Gas Engine Fuel Filters
•
•
•
•
The fuel pickup tubes, located inside the fuel tank, are equipped with fine mesh screen filters.
Also, when supplied by the engine manufacturer, a fuel filter is installed on each engine.
Periodically replace the fuel filters to make sure they remain 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 tanks.
Anti-siphon Valves (Gas Engines Only)
NOTICE
•
•
•
If an engine running problem is diagnosed as fuel starvation, check the anti-siphon valve.
If the valve is stuck or clogged, ONLY change or replace it while the engine is Off.
NEVER run either engine with its anti-siphon valve removed, except in an emergency.
•
•
•
•
The anti-siphon valves are vital fuel system parts.
If a fuel line ruptures, this valve prevents the siphoning of fuel from the tank.
The valves are located on the fuel tank, where the fuel feed lines attach to the tank.
These valves are spring loaded and are opened by fuel pump vacuum.
