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.
