Section 3 - Using Your Boat contains important
fueling information. Take time to read all the fuel
related information in the Owner’s Manual.
The 290 Sundancer
®
standard gasoline fuel system
consists of a 125 gallon (378.5 liter) fuel tank, fuel
tank vent, electric fuel valve, engine fuel supply line
and fuel fi ll (Fig. 5.1.1).
The fuel tank vent serves as a pressure/vacuum
release and safety overfl ow. The fuel vent is located
inside the fuel cap on the port mid deck. Periodically
check the vent to ensure that it is not clogged.
The fuel pickup at the fuel tank has an electric fuel
valve to prevent fuel from siphoning out in the event
of fuel line failure.
Never start an engine until you are certain that fuel
fumes are not present in the engine compartment
or elsewhere in the boat.
! CAUTION
A. E
LECTRIC FUEL VALVE
The electric fuel valve (Fig 5.1.1) is wired to the
ignition switch. When the ignition is turned ON the

of the valve should be left in the NORMAL position
at all times.
In the event of an electrical malfunction, the valve
can be opened and closed manually by turning the
manual override knob.
The electric fuel valve is installed in-line on the fuel
hose between the fuel tank and the engine. If your
boat is equipped with an optional generator, an
additional electric fuel valve will be installed on the
fuel hose between the fuel tank and the generator
fuel fi lter.
