Filling Gasoline Tank
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion.
Always stop the engine and DO NOT smoke or allow open
flames or sparks in the area while filling fuel tanks. To help pre-
vent a static charge during filling, portable fuel tanks must be
removed from the boat and placed directly on the ground for
filling.
• Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
• Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
• Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
• Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of
the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its temper-
ature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is completely
filled.
