WARNING
When switching from one fuel to another:
Store fuel tanks in a well-ventilated area, away from
heat and open flame. Prevent escape of liquid or
vapors which could accidentally ignite.
• Connect the fuel supply hose to the desired fuel supply.
• Adjust the selector switch on the port side of the out-

switch has no effect while the engine is running.
• The EMM calculates when the previous fuel remaining in
the engine has been used and switches the program at
that time.
Fuel systems with built-in tanks, particularly those that in-
clude antisiphon valves and filter/primer units, may have
restrictions that prevent the engine fuel pump from deliver-
ing enough fuel under all conditions. This can result in a
loss of performance.
•
The engine may run noticeably rough during the transi-
tion period.
IMPORTANT: Diesel fuel should be used as an emergency
fuel ONLY. If diesel fuel must be used, the fuel selector
switch should be in the Heavy Fuel position. Refer to
Emergency Fuel on p. 13.
FUEL SYSTEM PRIMING
If the outboard is run out of fuel, refill the fuel tank and
squeeze the primer bulb until firm. The high pressure fuel
circuits and injectors will prime as the outboard is cranked
with the starter.
