FEDERAL LAW
183.570 - Fuel filters and strainers:
Installation
Each fuel filter and strainer must be
supported on the engine or boat structure independent
from its fuel line connections, unless the fuel filter
or strainer is inside a fuel tank.
|
Fuel filters and strainers may not use the
attached fuel lines for their primary means of support. Many
fuel filters and strainers have brackets designed to provide
support. If brackets are not provided as part of the fuel
filter or strainer, clips, straps or other means must be employed
to support the fuel filter or strainer independent of its
connected fuel lines.
Fuel filters or strainers used inside a fuel
tank, such as might be attached to the fuel tank withdrawal
fitting, are not required to be independently supported.
FIGURE
35 - Fuel Filter or Strainer Support
TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW
- Are fuel filters and strainers not
installed in a fuel tank provided with support independent
of the connected fuel lines?
