[C320-list] Fuel Filter

[Jeff Hare]

Joe,

The fuel tank is located on the starboard side of the boat right next to the Rudder Post. The fuel shutoff is a small bronze valve with a black hose attached.  

The handle is very small and is On when it is lined up with the black hose and off when turned perpendicular.

Paul,

Thanks very much for the info.
Where is the fuel tank located?  There is not a diagram in my manual.
