able any possible source of ignition. Notify
your Silverton Dealer or Silverton’s Cus-
tomer Service Department immediately.
NEVER operate your boat if a fuel leak
is present!
Fuel Tank Fill and Vent
The fuel tank is fi
lled through the Fuel Fill
Fitting and the cap is marked GAS or DIE-
SEL, depending on the type of engines
that power your 34C.
Using the wrong type of fuel will result
in severe damage to the engines.
The photo above shows the Port Fuel
Tank Fitting. It is located on the walkdeck,
forward of the cockpit. The Starboard Fuel
Tank Fitting is located in the same posi-
tion, but on the starboard side. The fuel
fi ll fi ttings are connected to the fuel tanks
with the fuel hoses.
Each fuel tank has a hull vent fi tting.
These fi ttings are located on the port and
starboard sides of the hull. The photo be-
low shows the starboard side fuel vent.
The port side vent is in the same location
on the other side of the hull. The vent fi t-
tings are connected to the fuel tanks with
the fuel vent hoses. These vents allow air
to pass through them when fueling and
when the engines are drawing fuel from
the tanks.
The fuel fi ll and fuel vent hoses, fi ttings
and connections should be inspected for
leaks and signs of dry rot or swelling at
least once a year. If any of these condi-
tions are present, have an authorized
Silverton Service Technician inspect the
entire fuel system immediately. If a leak
is found, turn OFF the battery switches,
disconnect the shore power (Refer to
the electrical pages in this section of the
Owner’s Manual) and disable any possible
source of ignition. Contact your Silverton
dealer or Silverton’s Customer Service
Department immediately.
