FUEL RECOMMENDATION
WARNING: Use extreme care when changing the fuel filter. Gasoline
is highly flammable and under pressure. It should not be exposed to open
flame, sparks, or hot engine components. Allow the engine to cool to
ambient temperature prior to changing fuel filters.
WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes. The bilge
blower will evacuate the fumes. The bilge blower must be run for a
minimum of 10 minutes prior to cranking the engine.
Fuel Type
Unleaded Premium 92 octane fuel is highly recommended.
Fuel Quality Changes
NOTE: Sudden changes in fuel quality, including geographical
regions may effect engine operation.
Power Loss At Higher Elevations
Fuel injected engines will lose 3.5% power for every 1000 feet the engine is
operated above sea level. All fuel injection systems installed by KEM Equipment,
Inc. are equipped with a “manifold absolute pressure sensor” (MAP Sensor). The
MAP sensor senses barometric pressure and automatically corrects the fuel
system calibration for changes in altitude. This means the air/fuel mixture will
always be optimized, regardless of elevation (or barometric pressure); however,
the engine will still lose 3.5% power for every 1000 ft. increase in elevation. All
engines will experience power loss when operated at elevations above sea level,
unless they are turbocharged or supercharged. Turbochargers and
superchargers are mechanical pumps that put extra air into the engine to make
up for the lower air density at higher elevations.
