WARNING
USE OF ALCOHOL ENHANCED FUEL, OR ANY FUEL OTHER THAN
GASOLINE, CAN LEAD TO DETERIORATION OF THE FUEL SYSTEM
COMPONENTS. THIS CAN RESULT IN FIRE AND POSSIBLE
EXPLOSION.
Your typical factory installed fuel system is comprised of a fuel fi ll
fi tting marked “gas”, fuel tank, fuel hoses, fuel vents, anti-siphon
valve, water separator fi lter, fuel gauge, and sender among other items.
You should understand the purposes of each of these components
and discover their location by reading this manual along with the
outboard owner’s manual so that you can fi x a fuel system problem
when the need arises out on the water. The pictures displayed in this
section may not refl ect you specifi c engine.
Fuel Fill Cap
The fuel fi ll is labeled “gas” and is located
along the starboard aft deck. When fueling it
is important to keep the fi ll nozzle in contact
with the fuel fi ll line since it decreases static
electricity, which may spark and ignite gasoline
vapors. Always use the recommended fuel
octane rating as specifi ed in your outboard
engine owner’s manual. Extinguish all fl ame
producing agents before fueling. The fi ll cap leads to the anti-siphon
valve and fuel tank. Ensure that the gas cap ratchets shut which
ensures that vapors are contained within the system.
