Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane requirement. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of gaso-
line or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha rec-
ommends that you use alcohol-free gasoline
(see Gasoline with Ethanol) whenever possi-
ble.
The use of a poor quality gasoline may result
in starting and running problems. If you en-
counter drivability problems, which you sus-
pect could be related to the fuel you are using,
we recommend that you switch to a recog-
nized high quality brand of gasoline, such as
a gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier De-
tergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these
recommendations may also result in un-
scheduled maintenance, fuel system dam-
age, and internal engine damage.
NOTICE
ECM01981
●
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded gas-
oline can seriously damage the engine.
●
Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine dam-
age. Use only fresh gasoline that has
been stored in clean containers.
Gasoline with Ethanol
Two types of gasoline are commonly avail-
able in the U.S.A. and Canada for use in au-
tomobiles and boats: conventional gasoline
without Ethanol and gasoline with Ethanol,
which is typically referred to as E10 gasoline.
According to federal regulations, E10 gaso-
line may contain up to 10% Ethanol.
A high quality gasoline without Ethanol is the
preferred fuel for your Yamaha outboard mo-
tor. However, if gasoline with Ethanol is the
only fuel available in your area, your Yamaha
outboard motor is calibrated to run properly
