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
fi lling stations on the open waterways! The gas sender located in the fuel
tank uses a fl oat system which sends a signal to the dash fuel gauge as
to the fuel tank level.
Fuel filters are installed on each
outboard engine under the motor
shroud (cover) which should be
ser vi ced per outboard motor
manufacturer. Also, Regal installs for
each outboard an in-line 10 micron
water separator fi lter which is a spin
on type similar to an automobile oil
fi lter. Its main purpose is to trap dirt
particles and condensation in fuel. It is
a good idea to keep an extra fuel fi lter
on board along with a fi lter wrench,
catch container and clean rags for
emergencies. Never use automotive style fuel fi lters on your vessel.
Dispose of all fuel residue materials in an environmentally safe fashion.
