a note about fuel sytem safety

[Greg Moss]

Please Guy's do not half ass any fuel system. All the time I see things that scare me. I see fuel lines cracked and leaking, I see filter about to or are rusted through, I found today a sender with 4 screws in it. Now the screws in the sender have one area that are wider than the rest to align the float in the right position to not contact the wall and hang up. if you can not get all screws to line up there is a reason turn it and make sure they all will go. Every boat and all componites of the fuel system have stickers that say check at least annually. For your safety please do it more than that. This is a fun and dangerous sport please be enjoy it safely.

I am always under the hood checking stuff, but I see allot of rigs that lack the tlc allot of us put into them. The fuel delivery system whether on a 300 drag or 9.9 can cause the same amount of dammage to boat or more improtantly the operator. Thanks for the reminder, sometimes things just get taken for granted.
