Fuel System
Fuel Tank Vent
There is a fuel vent tting on the hull side. While
the tank is being lled, the air displaced by the
fuel escapes through the vent. When the tank is
full, fuel will be ejected from the fuel vent.
After fueling, replace the ll cap and wash the
areas around the fuel ll and below the fuel vent.
Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can
be dangerous and will yellow the berglass or
damage the striping.
5.2 Outboard Fuel System
The fuel system on the Everglades has one fuel
tank. The Fuel withdrawal line is equipped with
an anti-siphon valve where the line attaches to the
fuel tank. This valve prevents gasoline from si-
phoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture.
DO NOT REMOVE THE ANTI-SIPHON VALVE FROM THE
SYSTEM. SHOULD THE VALVE BECOME CLOGGED, CLEAN
AND REINSTALL OR REPLACE.
The fuel lter is installed in the stern bilge of the
boat. It is accessed through a hatch in the engine
splashwell. The lter is the water separator type
and should be serviced frequently to assure an
adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine.
It is recommended that the lter is inspected
periodically and the element changed as needed.
A valve located near the fuel withdrawal tube
provides a means to turn off the fuel supply
while servicing the fuel lter or any fuel system
component.
There is a primer bulb in the fuel line located near
the fuel lter that is used to prime the fuel system
after service or as required. See Fuel System
Maintenance and the engine owner’s manual for
additional information on the fuel lter and the
outboard engine fuel system.
