3.4 Fuel System Maintenance

PERIODICALLY INSPECT ALL FUEL FILTERS, PRIMER BULBS, CONNECTIONS, CLAMPS AND

HOSES FOR LEAKAGE AND DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION. REPLACE AS NECESSARY.

Spray the valves, fuel tank gauge sender and ground connections with a metal protector.

Frequently inspect and lubricate the fuel fill cap o-ring seals with petroleum jelly or silicone grease. The o-

ring seal prevents water from entering the fuel system through the fuel fill cap and it should be immediately

replaced if there is any sign of damage or deterioration.

The age of gasoline can affect engine performance. Chemical changes occur as the gasoline ages that can

cause deposits and varnish in the fuel system as well as reduce the octane rating of the fuel. Severely degraded

fuel can damage the engine and boat fuel tank and lines. Therefore, if your boat is not being run enough to

require at least one full tank of fresh fuel a month, a fuel stabilizer should be added to the gasoline to protect

the fuel from degradation. Do not allow the boat to sit unused for an extended period with the fuel tanks less

than full. Changes in temperature and weather conditions can cause condensation in fuel tanks that are less

than 3/4 full. Your dealer or the engine manufacturer can provide additional information on fuel degradation

and fuel stabilizers recommended for your engine.

Improper marina fuel storage techniques, limited boat usage, etc. can cause the fuel to become contaminated.

Periodically, it may be necessary to pump accumulating water and contaminated fuel from the bottom of the

fuel tanks. If the fuel system on your boat becomes contaminated, contact your dealer or marina for

assistance.

Avoid using fuels with alcohol additives. Gasoline that is an alcohol blend will absorb moisture from the air

which can reach such concentrations that "phase separation" can occur whereby the water and alcohol

mixture becomes heavy enough to settle out of the gasoline to the bottom of the tank. Since the fuel pick up

tube is very near the bottom of the tank, phase separation can cause the engine to run very poorly or not at

all. This condition is more severe with methyl alcohol and will worsen as the alcohol content increases. Water

or a jelly like substance in the fuel filters is an indication of phase separation from the use of alcohol blended

fuels.

Diesel engine operation requires a good supply of clean, dry diesel fuel. Algae can grow in the accumulated

water in the diesel fuel tank. This condition is most prevalent in warm climates. Periodically adding a high

quality diesel fuel additive containing an algicide may be required to control algae in your boating area.

Please contact your Pursuit dealer or engine manufacturer for additional information regarding fuels and

additives.

AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND CHECK

ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES.
