Section 3 • Using your Boat contains
important fueling information. Take time
to read all the fuel related information in
the owner’s manual.
The 250 Sportfish standard gasoline fuel system
consists of a 140 gallon fuel tank, fuel tank vent, an
anti-siphon valve, engine fuel supply line and fuel
fill (See figure 5.1.1).
The fuel tank vent serves as a pressure/vacuum
release and safety overflow. The fuel vent is located
inside the fuel cap on the port side of the hull.
Periodically check the vent to assure that it is not
clogged.

The fuel pick-up at the fuel tank has an anti-siphon
valve to prevent fuel from siphoning out in the event
of line failure (See figure 5.1.1 and 5.1.2). In an
emergency situation, remove the anti-siphon valve
if the engine is not getting fuel. nOTE: Replace with
new anti-siphon valve or fuel shut off valve as soon
as possible as anti-siphon protection is required by
federal law.
