Using Care When Fueling
Gasoline is explosive. If a gasoline odor is
present or gasoline is visually observed in
the bilge area during inspection, DO NOT
START YOUR ENGINE! Remove the igni-
tion key from the ignition switch and call
an authorized MasterCraft dealer for service.
Allowing the fuel level in the fuel tank to
fall below one-quarter of a tank full may
aect the reliability of the fuel pump or
result in damage to the fuel pump, which
is not covered under warranty.
ILMOR MARINE Engines
What Type of Gasoline To Use
MasterCraft boats are equipped with ILMOR Marine Engines, the finest quality pow-
erplant in the industry. ILMOR supplies an Owners’ Manual with the purchase of the boat.
Included in the manual is specific information regarding:
• whattypeofgasolinetouse;
• usingoxygenatedfuelsorfuelswithalcohol;
• whattodowhentheboatisnotusedforawhile;and
• fuelingoutsidetheUnitedStatesandCanada.
Damage to the engine by use of low-quality
gasoline or gasoline with an octane rating be-
low the minimum level listed for ILMOR MV8
engines will void the warranty on the engine.
Extended storage with fuel in the system can
aect fuel stability and may require system
inspection and fuel filter replacement when
the boat returns to service.
