Fuelling & Fuel System

 

Please check the specifications chapter to confirm if your craft comes standard with a pre-fitted marine-grade aluminium underdeck fuel tank, and its capacity. If the craft you have chosen does not come standard with a pre-fitted fuel tank, a portable one should be supplied with the outboard engine.

 

CAUTION

Portable tanks must be removed from the boat when fuelling.

 

The pre-fitted fuel tank is permanently installed underneath the deck. Where necessary the craft is equipped with removable inspection plates for fuel system component inspection.

 

Fuel lines, vent hoses and drain hoses should be checked frequently for leaks. If leaking occurs,

inspect the fuel system connections. If they are too tight or too loose they may leak. If upon tightening

or loosening the connection, the leak persists, replace the hose. If hose presents surface cracking,

is dry or mushy replace immediately. If fittings show damage due to abrasion or rust, replace immediately.

 

NOTICE

Take care not to spill gasoline. If gasoline is spilled, use dry rags or sponges to soak up the fuel and dispose of them properly onshore.

Discharging fuel or oily waste in navigable waters is prohibited. Help protect your waters.

Make sure you are using the filler pipe marked “Fuel”

 

WARNING

Replace with certified marine parts only. Do not use automotive parts. 

Gasoline is extermely flammable and highly explosive. When refuelling. always turn off the engine,

never smoke or allow open flames or sparks withing 15 metres (50 feet) of the fuelling area. 

Do not store flammable material in an non-vented area. 

Do not fill tank to capacity. Allow for fuel expansion. 
Do not drill holes in the deck deeper than 1.27 cm (1/2''). Otherwise the fuel tank will be perforated.

Fuel leaks could occur, which if ignited may cause serious injury or death.
