SF 345

TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, MAKE SURE ALL ELEC-

TRICAL SWITCHES ARE IN THE "OFF" POSITION BEFORE SERVICING THE FUEL SYS-

TEM.

DO NOT DRAIN ANY FUEL IN THE BILGE. THIS COULD LEAD TO A FIRE OR EXPLO-

SION. CHECK ALL FUEL LINE FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE AND AFTER STARTING

THE ENGINES FOLLOWING ANY FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE.

3.3 Generator Fuel System (Optional)

The gasoline powered generator is supplied through the aft tank. The gasoline withdrawal is equipped with

an "ON/OFF" valve located on the top of the fuel tank. Access to the fuel valve is through a deck plate under

the cockpit island on the starboard side. To access the deck plate, remove the lower drawer in the island. The

valve is off when the handle is perpendicular to the fuel flow. An anti-siphon valve near the withdrawal tube

prevents gasoline from siphoning out of the fuel tank should a line rupture. This withdrawal tube is slightly

higher in the tank than the engine withdrawal tube to ensure that a reserve of gasoline is maintained for the

main engine. If the generator is allowed to run out of fuel, air may be introduced in the fuel system and will

need to be removed by an authorized dealer.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START THE GENERATOR, THE FUEL VALVE MUST BE IN

THE "ON" POSITION.

A water separator type fuel filter is installed near the generator. The fuel filter has a sediment bowl that should

be checked for water frequently to assure an adequate supply of clean, dry fuel to the engine. The filter should

be inspected periodically and the element changed as needed.
