3070 CENTER CONSOLE
STATIC ELECTRICITY CAN BE GENERATED WHILE FUELING AND CAN CAUSE
A FIRE OR EXPLOSION. TO PREVENT STATIC SPARKS WHEN FILLING THE
TANK, MAKE SURE THE NOZZLE IS IN CONTACT WITH THE FUEL OPENING.
SPILLED FUEL IS DANGEROUS AND CAN YELLOW FIBERGLASS OR IGNITE.
MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT SPILL ANY FUEL. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE DECK,
USE A CLOTH TO REMOVE THE FUEL AND PROPERLY DISPOSE OF THE CLOTH
ON SHORE. IF FUEL IS SPILLED ON THE WATER, EXERCISE EXTREME CAU-
TION. FUEL FLOATS ON TOP OF THE WATER AND CAN IGNITE. IF EXCESS
FUEL IS SPILLED INTO THE WATER, IMMEDIATELY EVACUATE THE AREA AND
NOTIFY THE MARINA AND THE PROPER OFFICIALS.
9. Fill the fuel tanks slightly less than the rated capacity to allow for expansion and
to avoid spilling fuel out of the vents and fuel fills.
10. Remove the nozzle.
11. Install and tighten the fuel cap. Be careful not to overtighten the cap.
12. Check the fuel compartment and below the deck for fuel odors. If you smell
fuel, do not start the engine.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION, DO NOT START THE
ENGINE(S) WHEN FUEL FUMES ARE PRESENT. FUEL FUMES ARE DANGEROUS
AND HARMFUL TO YOUR HEALTH.
MAKE SURE ALL GASOLINE ODORS ARE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.
3.4 Fuel System Maintenance
Periodically inspect all primer bulbs, connections, clamps and hoses for leakage and damage or
deterioration. Replace as necessary. Spray the valves, tank fuel 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.
