WARNING
Do not fill the fuel tank over capacity. The
rise of gasoline temperature may cause
gasoline to expand which, if overfilled,
may leak through air vent screw when it
is open. Leaking gasoline is a dangerous
fire hazard.
When operating a Evinrude engine on
gasoline containing alcohol, storage of
gasoline in the fuel tank for long periods
should be avoided. Long periods of
storage, common to boats, create
unique problems. In cars, alcohol blend
fuels normally are consumed before
they can absorb enough moisture to
cause trouble, but boats often sit idle
long enough for phase separation
to take place. In addition, internal
corrosion may take place during storage
if alcohol has washed protective oil films
from internal components.

moisture from the air, resulting in a

WARNING
Fuel leakage can cause fire or explosion,
potentially leading to severe injury or
loss of life. Every fuel system part should
be checked periodically, and especially
after long term storage, for fuel leak,
change of hardness of rubber, expansion
and/or corrosion of metals. In case any
indication of fuel leakage or degradation
of fuel part is found, replace relevant part
immediately before continuing operation.
If the use of gasoline containing
alcohol is inevitable, or presence of
alcohol is suspected in the gasoline,
it is recommended to add a filter that
has water separating capability, and
check the fuel system for leaks and
mechanical parts for corrosion and
abnormal wear more frequently.
And, in case any of such abnormality
is found, discontinue the use of such
gasoline and contact our dealer
immediately.
Damages resulting from the use of
gasolines that contain alcohol are not
covered under the limited warranty.
