WARNING

Explosive fuel vapors.

Can cause severe injury or death.

Use extreme care when handling, storing, and using fuels.

Installing the fuel system. Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Do not modify the tank or the propulsion engine fuel system. Equip the craft with a tank that allows one of the two pickup arrangements described in the installation section. The tank and installation must conform to USCG Regulations.

Note: Fuel system installations must conform to USCG Regulations.

5.1 Fuel Tank

Most marine generator sets draw fuel from the same fuel tank as the craft’s propulsion engine(s). If the tank’s fuel pickup opening allows a multiple dip tube, use a multiple dip tube arrangement. See Figure 5-1. The multiple dip tube arrangement incorporates a shorter dip tube for the generator set and a longer dip tube for the propulsion engine. With this arrangement, the generator set runs out of fuel before the propulsion engine during a low fuel supply situation. Equip the fuel system with a fuel/water separator to remove any accumulated dirt and water.
