WARNING
Outside the U.S.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Follow
the instructions in this section explicitly.
Improper handling of fuel could result in
property damage, serious injury or death.
Your outboard has been designed to operate using
the above fuels; however, be aware of the follow-
ing:
The boat’s fuel system may have different require-
ments regarding the use of alcohol fuels. Refer to
the boat’s owner guide.
Always turn off the engine before fueling.
Alcohol attracts and holds moisture that can cause
corrosion of metallic parts in the fuel system.
Alcohol blended fuel can cause engine perfor-
mance problems.
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.
IMPORTANT: Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline
will oxidize and weather; the result is loss of octane,
volatile compounds and the production of gum and
varnish deposits which can damage the outboard.
Remove portable fuel tanks from the boat
before fueling.
Always wipe off any fuel spillage.
WARNING
Do not smoke, or allow open flames, or
sparks or use electrical devices such as cel-
lular phones in the vicinity of a fuel leak or
while fueling.
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.
Always work in a well ventilated area.
Your outboard is certified to operate on unleaded
automotive gasoline with an octane rating equal to
or higher than that specified in Minimum Octane
chart. When using gasoline that contains MTBE or
alcohol, follow these guidelines:
OIL
Using unleaded gasoline that contains methyl ter-
tiary butyl ether (MTBE) is acceptable ONLY if the
MTBE content does not exceed 15% by volume.
Using alcohol-extended fuels is acceptable ONLY if
the alcohol content does not exceed:
10% ethanol by volume
5% methanol with 5% cosolvents by volume
Evinrude direct injection oil is recommended
for your Evinrude outboard. It is formulated with
special additives for the cleaning power a direct in-
jection outboard needs for longer life. This synthetic
blend oil also provides superior lubrication to re-
duce engine component wear and maintain top per-
formance.
Evinrude brand oils are formulated to give best en-
gine performance while controlling piston and com-
bustion chamber deposits, providing superior
lubrication, and ensuring maximum spark plug life.
If Evinrude direct injection oil is not available you
must use an NMMA-certified TC-W3 oil such as
Evinrude/Johnson XD25 formula or Evinrude Bio-
degradable Outboard oil.
When operating under 32°F (0°C), Evinrude Biode-
gradable Outboard oil must be used.
IMPORTANT: Failure to follow this recommenda-
tion could void the engine warranty if a lubrication-
related failure occurs.
