FUEL AND OIL
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Gasoline
Use unleaded automotive gasoline with an octane rating
equal to or higher than:
WARNING
•
87 (R+M)/2 AKI, or 90 RON
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explo-
sive under certain conditions. 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:
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 annu-
ally.
• 10% ethanol by volume; or
• 5% methanol with 5% cosolvents by volume.
Emergency Fuel
•
•
Always turn off the engine before fueling.
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.
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.
Always work in a well ventilated area.
In a combat emergency when no other fuel is available,
diesel DFM-F76 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.
•
•
IMPORTANT: If the outboard MUST be run on diesel, it
should then be run on gasoline for a minimum of 20 min-
utes to clean internal engine components.
•
Fuel Additives (gasoline only)
Evinrude MFE models are designed to use several differ-
ent fuel types. Refer to FUEL SELECTOR SWITCH on
page 14.
The only fuel additives approved for use are:
•
•
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner
Evinrude/Johnson Fuel System Cleaner
Heavy Fuels
Use of other fuel additives can result in poor perfor-
mance or engine damage.
Approved heavy fuels include:
•
•
•
JP5, JP8
Jet A
Kerosene
Evinrude/Johnson 2+4 Fuel Conditioner will help prevent
gum and varnish deposits and will remove moisture from
the fuel system. It can be used continuously and should be
used during any period when the outboard is not being op-
erated on a regular basis.
IMPORTANT: Evinrude/Johnson XD100 outboard oil
MUST be used when outboard is run on heavy fuels. DO
NOT use Diesel DFM-F76 or BioDiesel fuels. For combat
emergency situations see Emergency Fuel on p. 13.
Evinrude/Johnson Fuel System Cleaner helps keep fuel in-
jectors in good condition.
