ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM
All engines require a source of fuel in order to run. The fuel that an
engine uses, is not only comprised of gasoline (in some cases diesel),
but also air. This mixture of gas and air are combined into a ratio,
best suited for your engine and boat. If this system fails, the engine
will have no fuel to compress and ignite. It is important to make sure
your fuel system is functioning properly.

WARNING
GASOLINE VAPORS CAN EXPLODE. BEFORE STARTING THE
ENGINE, OPERATE BLOWER FOR 4 MINUTES AND CHECK
ENGINE COMPARTMENT FOR GASOLINE LEAKS OR VAPORS.
RUN BLOWER BELOW CRUISING SPEED.

WARNING
USE OF ALCOHOL ENHANCED FUEL, OR ANY FUEL OTHER THAN
GASOLINE, CAN LEAD TO DETERIORATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM
COMPONENTS. THIS CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND POSSIBLE
EXPLOSION.
Your typical factory installed fuel system is comprised of a fuel fi ll
fi tting marked “gas”, fuel tank, fuel hoses, fuel vents, anti-siphon
valve, fuel fi lter, fuel pumps, fuel injectors, fuel gauge, and sender
among other items.
You should understand the purposes of each of these components
