Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive under certain
conditions. Follow the instructions
in this section explicitly. Improper
handling of fuel could result in prop-
erty damage, serious injury or
death.
Gasoline
Use fresh, unleaded automotive gasoline with
an octane rating equal to or higher than:
•
87 (R+M)/2 AKI, or 90 RON
Use unleaded gasoline that contains methyl
tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) ONLY if the MTBE
content does not exceed 15% by volume.
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion
hazard. All parts in the fuel system
should be inspected frequently and
replaced if signs of deterioration or
leakage are found. Inspect the fuel
system each time you refuel, each
time you remove the engine cover
and annually.
Alcohol-extended fuel is acceptable ONLY if
the alcohol content does not exceed:
• 10% ethanol by volume; or
• 5% methanol with 5% cosolvents by volume.

the top or fuel may overflow when it ex-

Remove portable fuel tanks from the
boat before fueling.
