Guys, I've just replaced the keypad on my 03 519. Boat has two gas tanks and the old pad had port and starboard printed on the pad to indicate which tank was in use whereas the new pad has a #1 and #2. Can someone tell me which # is port or starboard so I'm sure I'm in sync with the dial switch on the starboard arm rest... Thanks
I do not know for certain, but I would guess #1 is port. My '04 defaults to port whenever I repower the keypad. You could always observe tank levels from the gauge and then add some fuel to one and see which one changed.
Put gas in one side with the switch on it will how which tank is filling up, if tank gage is not moving you are on the other tank.
from a 2004 ranger users manual:
! Avoid serious injury or death from fire or
explosion resulting from leaking fuel.
Inspect system for leaks at least once a year.
WARNING
! Maintenance or repairs should be
performed by your Ranger dealer or other
qualified personnel.
CAUTION
! Fuel vapors are a fire and explosion
hazard. Do not store fuel or flammable
FUEL SYSTEM
The fuel system consists of a fuel tank equipped with an electric
sending unit. The fuel level is displayed on the console mounted gauge
when the ignition switch is “on”. On models with two tanks, a console
mounted switch marked with a fuel pump symbol or just “fuel”, is used to
switch the gauge from one tank to the other. Push the fuel pump symbol
switch to display the level in tank 1 (starboard) or tank 2 (port). Or, on
some models, push the switch to the left to display the port tank fuel level
and push to the right to display the starboard tank fuel level. The center
position is “off”. A fuel hose connects the fuel tank to the engine. On
models with more than one tank, a switch valve is installed to switch from
tank to tank. This valve, located at the driver seat, on the panel supporting
the driver and passenger seat or near the splashwell, depending on the
model, is clearly marked and easily operated. Some models have a
manual fuel shutoff valve located in the pick up tube at the fuel tank.
Contact your Ranger dealer for information on proper fuel shutoff valve
access.
