Gasoline Fuel Filter
Each gasoline engine is equipped with a spin on, water separator type
fuel filter. The filter should be checked frequently and changed at least
annually to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine.
It is recommended that the filters are inspected after the first 25 hours
of use and then serviced as needed. Follow the engine or filter
manufacturer’s instructions for servicing or replacing the fuel filters.
Note: Clean fuel is especially important in fuel injected en-
gines, and the engine manufacturer's recommendations
for fuel filter maintenance must be followed exactly.
TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, MAKE SURE ALL ELECTRI-
CAL SWITCHES ARE IN THE “OFF” POSITION BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL IN THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLO-
SION.
CHECK ALL FUEL LINE FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE
ENGINES FOLLOWING ANY FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINES, ALWAYS OPEN ALL HATCHES, WINDOWS, AND DOORS
AND RUN THE BLOWER FOR AT LEAST FIVE (5) MINUTES TO COMPLETELY VENTI-
LATE THE BOAT AFTER SERVICING THE FUEL SYSTEM.
