Fuel Fill Cap
e fuel ll is labeled “gas” and is located
along the starboard a deck. When fueling
it is important to keep the ll nozzle
in contact with the fuel ll line since it
decreases static electricity, which may spark
and ignite gasoline vapors. Always use the
recommended fuel octane rating as speci ed
in your outboard engine owner’s manual. Extinguish all ame
producing agents before fueling. e ll cap leads to the anti-
siphon valve and fuel tank. Ensure that the gas cap ratchets shut
which ensures that vapors are contained within the system.
Anti Siphon Valve
e anti-siphon valve at the base of the fuel feed line is pulled o its
seat by fuel pump pressure as the engine is cranking or running. It
forms a one-way fuel roadway by sealing o the fuel feed line from
the fuel tting. It prevents fuel from siphoning out of the tank in the
event of a fuel line rupture, or disconnected fuel feed hose. It is an
important safety item, so DO NOT remove the anti-siphon valve.
Fuel Vent
Fuel vents are o en combined into the fuel tting on the deck. Fuel
tanks are vented overboard for the fumes to escape. While the tank
is lled with fuel, air is displaced by the incoming fuel, and relieved
through the fuel vent hose. When the fuel tank is near full, slow or
stop the nozzle ow to keep the fuel from splashing out the vent.
