NOTICE
Figure I-1:  Fuel Fill
Use only clean fuel of the type and grade
recommended by the engine manufacturer.
Engine damage resulting from the use of a
lower octane gasoline is considered misuse
of the engine and will void the engine warranty.
Refer to the section on Gasoline Requirements
in the engine manual for information on octane
specifications.

Avoid overboard spills. When tank is almost full
the sound from the fuel vent will change. The
pitch will become higher indicating the tank is
close to being full. Stop pumping fuel into tank.
DO NOT TOP OFF.
After fueling, replace the fill cap, and wash the areas
around the fuel fill plate. Residual fuel left on the deck
and.hull.sides.can.be.dangerous,.and.will.yellow.the.

logos.
The fuel fill fitting allows for venting below the fill cap.
While the tank is being filled, the air displaced by the
fuel escapes through the fuel fill/vent. This reduces
