Adding a fuel stabilizer
When adding a fuel stabilizer additive
(commercially available), first fill the fuel
tank with fresh fuel. If the fuel tank is only
partially filled, air in the tank can cause
the fuel to deteriorate during storage.
1. Before adding fuel stabilizer additive,
drain the carburetor (See page 66).
2. Follow the instructions on the label
when adding the fuel stabilizer addi-
tive.
3. After adding the additive, let the out-
board motor run in the water for 10
minutes to make sure any old fuel in
the fuel system has been completely
replaced by the fuel with additive.
4. Turn the engine OFF

Note
If your motor is used occasionally, it is rec-
ommended to use a good fuel stabilizer in
every tank of fuel and keep the container
full to reduce condensation and evapora-
tion.
