Page 24

Fuel Precautions

Use a gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 89. The H.O. engine should use a minimum octane rating of 91.

DO NOT use gasoline containing methyl alcohol (methanol) or ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Methanol and Ethanol can damage your boat’s fuel system.

Gasoline Stabilizer should be added to the fuel tank when the boat is used infrequently or whenever your boat will not be used for two weeks or more. During storage always add Gasoline Stabilizer to reduce gumming or tank sludge.

Filling the Tank

Be especially careful when filling the fuel tank. DO NOT over fill the tank. Fuel may empty through the fuel vent and damage to finishes could result.

If fuel is spilled on stripes or decals, apply a common bath cleaner (nonabrasive) and wipe with a damp cloth. Rinse the spill area with clean water.

Fueling

Sparks while fueling could cause an explosion!

Before Fueling:

1.Turn off engine.

2.Turn off ignition.

3.Extinguish cigarettes or any open flame.

While Fueling:

1.Keep hose nozzle in contact with fill pipe to provide a ground against static sparks.

2.Fill tank at a slow rate to avoid any spillage.

Fuel Cap & Key

The fuel cap is located on the rear deck near the stern. A special fuel key is provided to open the cap.

NOTE: The cap is sealed by a rubber O-ring. Please do not over tighten.

The 24 Series boats, for extra convenience, have a fuel fill on both sides to allow for easy fueling.
