Pro plus reserve fuel lever on Pro-V

[Fishinglund]

Hello again!

I have another stupid question! On my 2004 Pro-V, I have a lever that switches the fuel from the main supply to the reserve supply. I have never had to switch the lever to the reserve supply because I always make sure to keep my tank full. The way I understand it, that lever is just a way to open a valve to the reserve fuel supply. Are these two different tanks? Do I need to switch the lever to the reserve supply to keep the fuel fresh? Or does the new fuel that I keep putting in mix with the reserve supply?

Thanks,

Fishinglund

I think it is just two pickups in the tank, one a little lower than the other. Just don't forget to put it back if you switch it. :-(

Luckily I was only about 6 feet from the dock.

That's correct, the "reserve" lever switches to a lower pickup outlet, there is no other tank.

I was told that the reserve tank is 10% of your fuel tank compacity. So 27 gal tank 2.7 gals in reserve on my prov.

Thanks Guys!

I didn't think it was a whole separate tank, but I didn't want to find out the hard way if I ever ran out of fuel in the main and had to switch to the reserve and find out the gas is stale.

Thanks again!
