Diesel engine operation requires a good supply of clean, dry diesel fuel. 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.
Algae can grow in the accumulated water in diesel fuel tanks. 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. Do not allow the boat to sit unused for an extended period with
the fuel tanks less than full. Changes in temperatures and weather conditions can cause condensation
in fuel tanks that are less than 3/4 full.
AFTER THE FILTER ELEMENT HAS BEEN CHANGED, PRIME THE FUEL SYSTEM AND
CHECK ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING THE ENGINES.
