ately. If hoses need to be replaced, make
sure that only USCG TYPE A1 are used.
TYPE A2 is not acceptable for fuel distri-
bution.
Fuel Supply Valves
If your 43MY is powered by gasoline
engines, it is equipped with an anti-siphon
valves, located on each fuel supply hose
at its connection to its respective fuel tank
pickup tube. The purpose of the anti-
siphon valve is to immediately stop the
flow of fuel from the fuel tank in the event
of a break in the fuel supply hose. The
anti-siphon valves are automatic and do
not require manual operation.
Fuel Filtration
The fuel that is supplied to the engines
and generator (if so equipped) may con-
tain impurities found in the fuel tanks or
contained in the fuel from your supplier. If
these impurities are not removed prior to
entering the engines/generator, perfor-
mance may be seriously affected. Re-
moval of the fuel impurities is accom-
plished by external fuel filters, which are
located within the fuel supply line.
If your 43MY is equiped with gasoline
engines, each engine has its own sepa-
rate fuel filter, located aft of the engine.
If your 43MY is equiped with diesel en-
gines, each engine has a separate fuel
filter located away from the engine. The
fuel filter is located on the forward bulk-
head in the engine room. The photo below
shows the fuel filter for the diesel engine.
If your 43MY is equipped with a generator,
a remote fuel filter with a fuel shut-off
valve is located in the main generator fuel
supply line, separate from the engine fuel
supply lines. The photo below shows the
generator fuel filter.
An Authorized Silverton Service Techni-
cian should replace all fuel filters annually
prior to spring launch.
