Avoiding Fuel Flow Restrictions
!
CAUTION
Avoid engine damage. Adding components to the fuel supply
system, such as filters, valves, fittings, etc., may restrict the fuel
flow. This condition may cause the engine to stall at low speeds
and create lean fuel conditions at high speeds, causing engine
damage.
Fuel Requirements
Use a major brand of unleaded gasoline, preferably without
alcohol.
!
CAUTION
Use of improper fuel can seriously damage your engine. Engine
damage resulting from use of improper fuel is considered misuse
of the engine and damage caused thereby will not be covered
under the Mercury Racing limited warranty.

1. Mercury Racing does not recommend using leaded gasoline. Read the
information in the Fuel Containing Alcohol section.
2. Mercury Racing does not recommend using leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline
is acceptable in areas where unleaded gasoline is not available; however,
exhaust passageway corrosion may occur due to the accumulation of
exhausted lead particles. Automotive fuels that contain fuel injector cleaner
are recommended for added internal cleanliness.
