4.1.1 Refueling

Gasoline and diesel are highly flammable and poisonous substances. Take extra caution when handling them:

  • Shut off the engine and fuel-based appliances, and extinguish cigarettes. Do not operate switches or other devices that may generate sparks while refuelling.

  • Avoid spilling any fuel. In case of spill, wipe it up immediately. Clean spills on skin with soap and water.

  • In case you swallow, inhale or get fuel into your eyes, seek medical attention.

  • Ensure that no fuel has leaked into the bilge or the engine space.

  • Always keep spare canisters on the deck as this boat has no ventilated storage space.

Environmental hazard!

Do not overfill the tank. Make sure the fuel does not overflow into the sea from the fuel ventilation opening.  

The ventilation system on the US market prevents fuel from flowing over.

The fuel level in the tanks can be monitored on the Engine multi-function panel (see section 4.3.1 Yamaha engine controls).

The engine fuel inlet is located on the starboard side next to the driver's seat. 

  • Use a high-quality gasoline that meets the minimum octane rating.

  • For recommended fuel types, see the engine manual.

The diesel fuel filling inlet is located on the starboard side of the aft cockpit, if you have selected this optional feature.

The septic waste inlet is located next to the fuel filling inlets, if you have selected these optional features. See section 4.10 Septic system .

  • Do not mix up the different inlets. 

  • Make sure the cap labeled "Waste" is tightly closed when refueling.

Do not store canisters containing fuel under the deck or cabin. This poses a risk of fire and environmental pollution.

Consider that you may not be able to fill up the tank if the boat is not level. The trim and how the boat is loaded affect the fuel tank capacity. In addition, always add an extra 20% reserve to the expected fuel consumption for the trip.

A wrong fuel type can break the engine and fuel-driven devices.

  • Do not use diesel fuel when refueling the engine.

  • If you have selected the heater accessory, always check that you are using the correct fuel filling inlet. Only use diesel when filling the diesel tank.
