When filling a fuel tank for a personal watercraft (PWC), it's best to fill it to around 90-95% full to allow for expansion of the fuel. This helps prevent spills caused by fuel expanding in warmer temperatures. Additionally, leaving some space in the tank helps avoid overfilling and ensures proper performance. Always consult the owner’s manual for specific recommendations related to your PWC model.
The fuel tank on a Personal Watercraft (PWC) should typically be filled to about 90-95% capacity to allow for fuel expansion and prevent spillage. It's important not to overfill the tank, as this can lead to fuel leaking out of the vent. Additionally, always ensure that the fuel cap is securely tightened after refueling to avoid any fuel loss or contamination. Regularly check the fuel level to ensure optimal performance and safety while riding.

Additionally, leaving some space in the tank ensures optimal performance and reduces the risk of fuel sloshing during operation. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations.
You should turn a Personal Watercraft's (PWC) fuel selector switch to the Reserve position when you notice that the fuel level is low and you want to access the remaining fuel in the reserve tank. This is typically done when the main fuel supply is nearly depleted, allowing you to continue operating the PWC until you can refuel. It's important to monitor fuel levels regularly to avoid running out of gas completely. Always consult your PWC's owner manual for specific guidance on fuel management.
I believe you mean "Reserve", which is usually a fuel pickup located lower in the tank, to give you some extra gas in the event that you run out in the normal position.
You should turn a PWC fuel selector switch to the reserve position when the main fuel tank is running low, typically indicated by a decrease in engine performance or a fuel gauge reading close to empty. It's advisable to switch to reserve before the fuel runs out completely to avoid engine stalling. Additionally, always monitor your fuel levels and switch to reserve proactively, especially during extended rides.
When refueling a personal watercraft (PWC), you should always check for fumes before and during the refueling process. This includes sniffing for fuel vapors around the fuel tank and the fuel line, as well as ensuring the area is well-ventilated. If you detect any fuel odors, you should stop refueling immediately and address the issue before continuing. Additionally, it’s important to avoid smoking or using any open flames near the refueling area to prevent fire hazards.
The safety feature that was designed into PWC fuel tanks was to leave space for the fuel to expand.
When you refuel your PWC it is important to check for gas fumes. You check for fumes before starting the engine and after adding fuel.
