Fuel Systems
3.1 General
The fuel system of your Pursuit boat is
designed to meet the requirements of the
U.S. Coast Guard, National Marine Manu-
facturers Association (NMMA), and Ameri-
can Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) in effect
at the time of manufacture.
The fuel system was factory inspected and
pressure tested in accordance with regula-
tions in effect at the time of manufacture. It is
the responsibility of the boat owner to main-
tain the safe condition of the system.
Inspect the system frequently to ensure no
deterioration or loosening of connections
has occurred.
3.2 Fuel System
The fuel system on your Pursuit boat has
two fuel tanks and four manual “ON/OFF”
fuel valves. Refer to the Schematics section.
The fuel valves for the aft tank are located
through the hatch in the cockpit floor and the
fuel valves for the forward tank are located
through a deck plate forward of the leaning
post. The valves are off when the handle is
perpendicular to the fuel flow. The fuel
valves allow the operator to run the engines
from both tanks or from the aft tank or for-
ward tank.
! DANGER
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
Fuel and their vapors are highly explo-
sive when exposed to open flame or
spark, resulting in death or serious
injury.
• Make sure no vapors are present
before turning on electrical equip-
ment or starting engines.
• Make sure fuel is added to the fuel
tank only. DO NOT confuse other
deck fills with fuel fills.
• DO NOT remove anti-siphon
valves from the system.
• Turn off all electrical switches
before servicing the fuel system.
• DO NOT drain any fuel in the bilge.
• Check all fuel lines and fittings for
leaks before and after starting the
engines and after any fuel system
service.
• Prime fuel system and check all fit-
tings for leaks before and after
starting the engines.
• DO NOT block fuel vents.
• DO NOT store fuel in any contain-
ers or compartments not desig-
nated for fuel storage.
! NOTICE
Certain bulkhead areas are sealed fol-
lowing U.S. Coast Guard regulations
at the date of manufacture. Any modi-
fications must be in accordance with
the regulations.
