Fuel Gauge & Sender
The dash fuel gauge is only an indication of the on board fuel supply.
They are not exact reading instruments. Therefore, use the one third
rule discussed earlier for monitoring your fuel supply. There are not many
filling stations on the open waterways! The gas sender located in the fuel
tank uses a float system which sends a signal to the dash fuel gauge as
to the fuel tank level.
Fuel filters are installed on marine engines. They are of the spin on
type similar to an automobile oil filter. Their main purpose is to trap
dirt particles and water in fuel. It is a good idea to keep an extra fuel
filter on board along with a filter wrench, pan and clean rags for
emergencies. Dispose of all fuel residue materials in an environmentally
safe fashion. Never use automotive style fuel filters on your vessel.
Fuel Filters
Diesel Fuel System
Diesel boats use special fuel filters. Most of these filters have a thumb
screw to drain settled particles via the bottom of the filter. Refer to
your engine owner’s manual for further information.
