Abstract
An outboard motor having an fuel/air injection system wherein all of the major components of the fuel portion of the fuel/air injection system are contained within a sealed chamber having a fuel drain and the conduits that supply fuel to the fuel injectors are also contained within fuel collecting conduits so that any fuel leaking will not escape back to the atmosphere. In addition, the air pressure supplied to the fuel/air injectors is regulated and the air relieved for pressure regulation is returned to an air inlet device having a baffle for condensing any fuel in the regulated air and returning the condensed fuel to a vapor separator. The engine is of the V type and major components of the fuel/air injection system are positioned in the valley between the cylinder banks.
