Chapter 3:

FUEL SYSTEM

3.1 General

The fuel system used in Pursuit boats is designed to meet the requirements of the U.S. Coast Guard, the

National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), and The American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC)

in effect at the time of manufacture.

The gasoline fuel system has been factory inspected and pressure tested in accordance with regulations in effect

at the time of manufacture. This inspection assures that the system is air tight, leak proof and safe. It is the

responsibility of the purchaser to maintain it in that condition. Make frequent inspections to assure that no

deterioration or loosening of connections is resulting from vibration.

DO NOT LET THE ODOR OF GASOLINE GO UNCHECKED. ANY ODOR OF GASOLINE

MUST BE IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATED AND STEPS TAKEN TO PROTECT THE BOAT

AND ITS OCCUPANTS UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS CORRECTED. IF THE ODOR OF GASO-

LINE IS NOTED, SHUT OFF ALL ENGINES AND ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. INVESTI-

GATE AND CORRECT THE SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. HAVE ALL PASSENGERS PUT

ON PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICES AND KEEP A FIRE EXTINGUISHER READY UNTIL

THE SITUATION IS RESOLVED.

FUEL WITHDRAWAL TUBES

The fuel withdrawal tubes are positioned in the fuel tanks to achieve optimum fuel usage, fuel line routing,

etc. At certain speeds and hull trim angles, the fuel supply at the withdrawal tube location can increase or

decrease accordingly. Be extremely careful when attempting to operate the boat when low on fuel. Though

some fuel may be in the tank, the trim angle of the boat may cause the fuel to flow away from the withdrawal

tube(s).

FUEL GAUGE AND SENDERS

This indicates the amount of fuel in the tanks. The fuel gauge sender(s) can be accessed through inspection

plates in the cockpit. Due to the mechanical nature of the fuel senders, variations in readings during various

speeds of operation may occur. This system is merely a relative indication of the available fuel supply and

not a calibrated instrument.

FUEL FILLS

Fuel fill deck plates are located on each gunwale and are marked “GAS.” The

fuel fill is opened by turning it counter clockwise with a special key. After

fueling, install the fuel cap and tighten with the key. Be sure to use the proper

type and grade fuel. Refer to the engine owner’s manual for additional

information.

• The starboard aft fill supplies the center tank.

• The forward starboard fill supplies the starboard tank.

• The port aft fill supplies the port tank.

• The forward port fill supplies the forward center tank.
