FUEL SYSTEM
Periodically (at least twice annually) inspect the fuel tank
components for loose clamps at the vent, fi ll, return
and feed locations. Examine each hose for signs of
deterioration and leakage. Check the fuel sender for loose
fasteners and leaks at all areas of contact. Also, inspect
the fuel tank for signs of leakage or abrasion. Tighten all
components as needed.
Note: Do a visual inspection before each cruise. Again,
include the high pressure diesel engine fuel hose
components along with the diesel fuel fi lters both in-line
and connected to the engine. Also, with dual fuel tanks
check the diesel fuel transfer pump connections.
