– Vapor lock or fuel starvation
– Starting and operating difficulties
– Deterioration of rubber or plastic

– Corrosion of metal parts
– Damage to internal engine parts
– Have your dealer inspect for fuel
leaks or other fuel system abnor-
malities if you suspect the pres-
ence of alcohol in gasoline
exceeds the current government
regulation limits.

Biobutanol is a four-carbon alcohol
produced from renewable, plant-de-
rived energy sources in a fermentation
process similar to beer and wine pro-
duction. Biobutanol delivers more re-
newable energy content than ethanol
while remaining compatible with cur-
rent vehicles, boats, and infrastruc-
ture. Biobutanol does not phase
separate in the presence of water like
ethanol and is less corrosive to fuel
system components such as fuel
tanks, fuel fitting, and fuel hoses.
Biobutanol blended fuel (either isobu-
tanol or n-butanol) may be used in all
Evinrude
outboards. Use of biobutanol
blended fuel will NOT void the war-
ranty of
Evinrude
outboards
Biobutanol blended fuel (Bu16 — up
to 16.1% by volume) has been ap-
proved for use by the
National Marine
Manufacturers Association (NMMA).

The use of unleaded gasoline contain-
ing alcohol above the percentage
specified by government regulations
is not recommended. Use of fuel la-
beled E15 is prohibited by U. S. EPA
Regulations.
Use of a boat mounted water separat-
ing fuel filter is strongly
recommended.

A European Standard provides
harmonized labeling across Europe
and thus effectively assists consum-
ers in identifying the compatibility of
the fuel supplied as a refueling point
with an engine.
In the European Union, this
Evinrude

engine is compatible with the
following petrol-type fuel:
