Systems
Boats manufactured for domestic use are now required
to be out tted with an EPA compliant fuel system using
an aluminum tank. is system uses parts such as special
valves and ba es located inside the fuel tank. Also, there
is a carbon canister which functions much like the one in
an automobile. is component is located between the
fuel tank and hull side vent. e carbon canister never
needs to be replaced and is not a serviceable item.
Tanks are initially out tted to work with gasoline and
diesel systems.
ese tanks are tested and inspected along with the
complete fuel system several times for safety requirements
and quality by the fuel tank supplier, in house personnel
and independent inspections by National Marine
Manufacturers Association personnel.
TYPICAL FUEL TANK
e fuel ll tting is labeled “gas” and in addition displays
the international symbol (See the next page). When
fueling the boat keep the ll nozzle in contact with the
fuel ll pipe since it decreases static electricity. Always
use the recommended fuel octane rating as speci ed in
your engine owner’s manual.
Extinguish all ame producing agents before fueling!
