Gasoline is extremely
flammable and is explosive
under certain conditions.
Refuel in a well-ventilated
area with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke or allow flames
or sparks in the area where
the engine is refueled or
wheregasolineisstored.
Do not overfill the fuel tank
(there should be no fuel in
the filler neck). After refueling,
make sure the tank cap is
closed properly and securely.
Be careful not to spill fuel
when refueling. Spilled fuel or
fuel vapor may ignite. If any
fuel is spilled, make sure the
area is dry before starting the
engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged
contact with skin or
breathing of vapor.

Regarding use of fuel containing
lead
Gasoline Containing Alcohol
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
If you decide to use a gasoline
containing alcohol (gasohol), be sure
its octane rating is at least as high as
that recommended by Honda. There
are two types of gasohol : one
containing ethanol, and the other
containing methanol.
Do not use gasohol that contains
more than 10% ethanol.
Do not use gasoline containing more
than 5% methanol (methyl or wood
alcohol) and that does not also
contain co-solvents and corrosion
inhibitors for methanol.
Fuel containing lead produces
residue when burned. This residue
accumulates in the cylinder head
and on the exhaust valve seats and
should be removed by an
authorized Honda outboard motor
dealer every 200 operating hours
or every year, whichever comes
first (refer to page ,
Maintenance ).
If carbon removal is not carried
out as recommended, engine life
and performance may be
influenced.
