185, 205 & 225 • Owner's Manual Supplement

Fuel System

• It is very important that the fuel system be inspected thoroughly the first time it is filled and
at each subsequent filling.
• The fueling instructions in the Sport Boat Owner's Manual and the fuel recommendations in
the engine operation manual must be followed.
Avoid the storage or handling of gear near the fuel lines, fittings and tank.

Fuel Fill and Vent

• The fuel fill/vent fitting is
marked "GAS".
• If you experience difficulty
filling the fuel tank, check to
see if the fuel fill hose is
kinked or collapsed. If there
are no visible signs of a prob-
lem, contact your local dealer.

Fuel Filters

• The fuel pickup tube (located
inside the fuel tank) is
equipped with a fine mesh
screen filter.
• In addition, when supplied by
the engine manufacturer, a
fuel filter is installed on
the engine.
• Periodically replace the fuel
filters to make sure they
remain clean and free
of debris.
• Talk to your selling dealer or
local marina about fuel addi-
tives that help prevent fungus
or other buildup in your
fuel tank.
