FUEL AND OIL
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Gasoline
Use unleaded automotive gasoline with an
octane rating equal to or higher than:
87 (R+M)/2 AKI, or 90 RON
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive under certain condi-
tions. Improper handling of fuel could
result in property damage, serious
injury or death.
Use unleaded gasoline that contains methyl
tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) ONLY if the MTBE
content does not exceed 15% by volume.
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.
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion haz-
ard. 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.
Emergency Fuel
In a combat emergency when no other fuel is
available, diesel DFM-E76 or BioDiesel can
be used. Operating time should be limited to
the duration of the combat emergency and
the operator should return to operating on one
of the approved fuels as soon as possible.
Idle and low speed operation (below 3000
RPM) should be avoided to prevent spark
plug fouling when operating on diesel DFM-
E76 or BioDiesel.
•
•
•
Always turn off the engine before fuel-
ing.
Never permit anyone other than an
adult to refill the fuel tank.
Do not fill the fuel tank all the way to
the top or fuel may overflow when it
expands due to heating by the sun.
Remove portable fuel tanks from the
boat before fueling.
•
IMPORTANT: If the outboard MUST be run
on diesel, it should then be run on gasoline for
a minimum of 20 minutes to clean internal en-
gine components.
•
•
Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
Do not smoke, or allow open flames or
sparks, or use electrical devices such
as cellular phones in the vicinity of a
fuel leak or while fueling.
Fuel Additives (gasoline only)
•
Always work in a well ventilated area.
The only fuel additives approved for use are:
•
•
Use of other fuel additives can result in
poor performance or engine damage.
