VALVES-FUEL TANK/GENERATOR
Fuel Tank Selector Valves
The fuel tank selector valves are found on the port en-
gine bulkhead on stern drive models or at the transom
area with V-drive boats. The system controls the flow of
fuel from both fuel tanks.
When one tank is close to empty, you need to change to
the other tank to balance the fuel levels. Failure do to
this could cause the engines to injest air through the lines
causing a lean fuel condition.
Set the valves to the desired fuel flow by turning them in
the proper direction. You can feel the valves seat in the
detented position.
When leaving the vessel, turn off both
fuel selector valves.
The generator valve functions like the fuel selector valve.
Monitor the fuel gauge so both fuel tanks stay fairly even
when using the generator. When one fuel tank is quite a
bit lower than the other fuel tank, just change the fuel
selector valve.
When leaving the vessel, turn off the gen-
erator fuel control valve.
