Gasoline Safety
A WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive under certain conditions.
Always exercise extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.
Always refuel with the engine stopped and outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or near the area where refueling is performed or where
gasoline is stored.
Do not over fill the tank. (Do not fill the tank neck.)
If you get gasoline on your skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with soap and water and change
clothing.
Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed area. Gasoline powered engine exhaust fumes are
poisonous and can cause loss of consciousness and death in a short time.
Shut off fuel valve (if applicable) whenever the watercraft is stored, parked, or transported.
. When working on any part of the fuel system on DFI models, disconnect battery ground cable.
Water Separating Filter - Genesis FFI : See Carburetor and Fuel System, Chapter 3.
Fuel/Water Separator
The fuel/water separator should be checked daily and/or
whenever refueling. 1"-2" (2.5-5 cm) of water depth in
water trap can cause the engine to run poorly due to re
stricted fuel flow. If water trap fills quickly, check for water
in the fuel tank.
A WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive under
certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow flames or
sparks in the work area. Be sure the work area is well
ventilated. See gasoline handling warnings found above.
Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious inju
ry or death.
1. Visually inspect bowl for water collected at bottom of
bowl.
NOTE: If water is present it will appear as a clear liquid
at the bottom of the bowl. Water traps include a filter to
improve water separation, and a colored float to indicate
water level. The maximum travel of the float is to the
base of the filter, or approximately one half the depth of
the bowl. Empty bowl if float appears to be off the bottom.
