4 MAINTENANCE & CARE
FUEL SYSTEM INSPECTION
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to check for and
repair any fuel leakage could result
in fire or explosion. A fire or explo-
sion can cause severe injury or
death.
When inspecting the fuel system,
shut off the engine, do not smoke,
and avoid spilling gasoline.
Fuel in hose is pressurized. Fuel can
spray out and cause injury or a fire
hazard if fuel line is disconnected.
Do not attempt to run engine with
fuel line disconnected.
Check the fuel system for leaks, cracks,
or malfunctions. If any problem is found,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
Checking points:
1. Fuel tank leakage
2. Fuel hose joint leakage
3. Fuel hose cracks or other damage
4. Fuel filler clamps and hoses
5. Fuel tank cap (seal) for damage
The United States Coast Guard
requires that all inboard boats like your
boat have visual access to fuel filler
clamps and hoses. The boat has two
access points for this purpose.
One access point is the hatch 1 in the
floor directly in front of the rear seats.
Lift the latch to open the hatch. The
other access point is inside 2 the port-
side storage compartment. Remove
the seat cushion then look up inside
the compartment to see the fuel filler
hose and clamp.
