2270 CENTER CONSOLE
Note: Do not overtighten the fuel cap. If the cap is overtightened, the O-ring seal could
be damaged allowing water to contaminate the fuel system.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK
PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE IS ACCI-
DENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP
IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL
AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PUR-
SUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL
PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED.
Fuel Vent
The fuel vent is located on the side of the hull. While the tank is being filled, the air displaced by
the fuel escapes through the vent.
After fueling, replace the fill cap and wash the areas around the fuel fill deck plate and below the
fuel vent. Residual fuel left on the deck and hull sides can be dangerous and will yellow the
fiberglass or damage the striping.
3.2 Outboard Fuel System
The fuel system on the Pursuit 2270 Center Console has one fuel tank. The fuel tank is mounted
in the center of the bilge and has one withdrawal line equipped with an anti-siphon valve where
the fuel line attaches to the fuel tank. This valve prevents gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel
tank should a line rupture.
DO NOT REMOVE THE ANTI-SIPHON VALVE FROM THE SYSTEM. SHOULD THE VALVE
BECOME CLOGGED, CLEAN AND REINSTALL OR REPLACE.
Single Engine Fuel System
A fuel filter is installed in the transom area of the boat. The filter is the
water separator type and has a sediment bowl that should be checked
for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to
the engines. It is recommended that the filter be inspected periodically
and the element changed as needed.
Note: Some fuel injected engines have fuel filters on the engine
and do not allow external fuel filters. If your boat is
equipped with fuel injected engine(s), it may not have a
separate water separator fuel filter.
