A vehicle, including watercraft and personal watercraft, includes a hull, an engine system and a propulsion system. The engine system comprises an internal combustion engine and an air intake for receiving air to be mixed with fuel supplied to the engine. The propulsion system connects to the engine and propels the watercraft along a surface of a body of water using power from the engine. The watercraft can include a quick connect air/water separator, or air box. A fuel system is provided that has a fuel supply line and a fuel return line which are connected with a bypass line. For evacuating fuel from the supply line and the return line, the bypass line contains a valve which can be actuated to allow fuel to flow into the fuel reservoir. A lubrication system is provided that includes a filler neck comprising an oil/air separator which allows a mixture of oil and air to be separated and the oil to be returned to the oil reservoir.
