Before Periods of Storage
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Gasoline containing alcohol (etha-
nol or methanol) can cause a formation of acid
during storage and can damage the fuel system.
If the gasoline being used contains alcohol, it is
advisable to drain as much of the remaining gas-
oline as possible from the fuel tank, remote fuel
line and engine fuel system.
Fill the fuel system (tank, hoses, fuel pump, carbure-
tors and fuel injection systems) with treated (stabi-
lized) fuel to help prevent formation of varnish and
gum. Proceed with following:
1. Portable Fuel Tank – Pour the required amount of
Quicksilver Gasoline Stabilizer (follow instruc-
tions on container) into fuel tank. Tip fuel tank
back and forth to mix stabilizer with the fuel.
2. Permanently Installed Fuel Tank – Pour the re-
quired amount of Quicksilver Gasoline Stabilizer
(follow instructions on container) into a separate
container and mix with approximately one quart
(one liter) of gasoline. Pour this mixture into fuel
tank.
3. Place the outboard in water or connect flushing
attachment for circulating cooling water. Run the
engine for ten minutes to allow treated fuel to fill
the fuel system.
