WARNING

Spilt fuel may damage the paint work, the plastic side pocket material and the carpet on your vessel. If a fuel spill occurs

insure it is cleaned up immediately

Our boats have many different fuel tanks to suit our broad range. Some tanks are deeper than others. Depending on the

fuel tank depth and the length of the fuel sender, the gauge may not give a true indication of the amount of fuel remaining

in the tank when the gauge reads ‘empty’.

The first time the tank is filled, have someone fill the tank slowly while watching the fuel gauge. As soon as the gauge

moves (and remains) at a point above “empty” stop filling the tank and note the amount of fuel registered at the bowser.

This is an indication of the fuel reserve in the tank. Never assume there is enough reserve in the tank to get home as the

fuel gauge may read differently while at sea due to attitude, lean or list of the boat.

Portable Fuel Tank ~

1. Remove the tank from the boat for filling.

2. If your outboard requires a petrol/oil mix, follow the engine manual instructions for the proper lubrication oil

and petrol ratio mix.

3. Before placing the tank back in the boat, wash off any spilled fuel.

4. Some portable tanks have vent screws which must be open during engine operation.

WARNING

Do not use fuels that incorporate any form of alcohol or alcohol derivatives or ethanol. Alcohol and ethanol’s may destroy

marine fuel system hoses and components, which could lead to hazardous leaks, fire or explosion.

WARNING

The flotation material used in your boat can be affected by petrol and petroleum based products. Check the condition of

the flotation material periodically by removing the floor. If a petroleum-based product is spilt inside your boat, check the

condition of the flotation material prior to your next trip.
