Systems
Boats manufactured for domestic use are now required
to be outfi tted with an EPA compliant fuel system using
an aluminum tank. This system uses parts such as special
valving located inside the fuel tank. Also, there is a
carbon canister which functions much like the one in an
automobile. This component is located between the fuel
tank and hull side vent. The carbon canister never needs
to be replaced and is not a servicable item.
Tanks are initially outfi tted to work with gasoline and
diesel systems.
These 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.

the boat keep the fi ll nozzle in contact with the fuel fi ll
pipe since it decreases static electricity. Always use the

owner’s manual.
