FUEL & OIL
55
Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of
the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its
temperature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is
completely filled.
FILLING PERMANENTLY INSTALLED TANKS
Slowly pour the correct amount of oil along with gasoline as the
tank is being filled.
FILLING PORTABLE FUEL TANKS
Remove the portable fuel tanks from the boat to refill them.
Pour the full amount of oil, along with one gallon of gasoline into
the fuel tank. Mix thoroughly, then pour the remainder of the
gasoline into the tank.
PORTABLE FUEL TANK PLACEMENT IN THE BOAT
Place the fuel tank in the boat so the vent is higher than the fuel
level under normal boat operating conditions.
