Filling Fuel Tank
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion.
Use caution when filling fuel tanks. Always stop the engine and
do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area while
filling fuel tanks.
Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of
the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its
temperature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is
completely filled.
PORTABLE FUEL TANK PLACEMENT IN THE BOAT
Place the fuel tank in the boat so the vent is higher than the fuel
level under normal boat operating conditions.
Engine Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W
certified synthetic blend 25W‑40 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil for general,
all‑temperature use. If SAE 10W‑30 oil is preferred, use Mercury
or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified 10W‑30 4‑Stroke Outboard
Oil. If the recommended Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W
certified outboard oils are not available, a major brand of NMMA
FC‑W certified 4‑stroke outboard oil of similar viscosity may be
used.
When operating in temperatures above 4 °C (40° F), we encourage
the use of NMMA FC‑W certified synthetic blend 25W‑40 4‑Stroke
Outboard Oil.
