Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane requirement. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of gaso-
line or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha rec-
ommends that you use alcohol-free gasoline
(see Gasoline with Ethanol) whenever possi-
ble.
The use of a poor quality gasoline may result
in starting and running problems. If you en-
counter drivability problems, which you sus-
pect could be related to the fuel you are using,
we recommend that you switch to a recog-
nized high quality brand of gasoline, such as
a gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier De-
tergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these
recommendations may also result in un-
scheduled maintenance, fuel system dam-
age, and internal engine damage.
Gasoline with Ethanol
Two types of gasoline are commonly avail-
able in the U.S.A. for use in automobiles and
boats: conventional gasoline without Ethanol
and gasoline with Ethanol, which is typically
referred to as E10 gasoline. According to fed-
eral regulations, E10 gasoline may contain up
to 10% Ethanol.
A high quality gasoline without Ethanol is the
preferred fuel for your Yamaha outboard mo-
tor. However, if gasoline with Ethanol is the
only fuel available in your area, your Yamaha
outboard motor is calibrated to run properly
on fresh E10 gasoline that meets the mini-
mum octane requirement specified for this
model.

NOTICE
Never use a gasoline for your outboard
motor that contains more than 10% Etha-
nol, such as E85 which contains 85% Eth-
anol, or gasoline containing any amount
of Methanol. These fuels can cause start-
