⚠️ Risk

In some units, the fuel tank vent hose may have been kinked or bent during set-up or service, creating the possibility of a fuel leak into the engine compartment. In certain models equipping the electric fuel pump, the kinked fuel tank vent hose could cause the fuel pump to separate from its mounting flange. Refuelling the vessel after this occurrence could result in fuel leaking into the engine compartment leading to a risk of fire.
