Filling Fuel Tank
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Always stop the engine and do not smoke or
allow open flames or sparks in the area while filling fuel tanks.
Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of the tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in
volume as its temperature rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is completely filled.
PORTABLE FUEL TANK PLACEMENT IN THE BOAT
Place the fuel tank in the boat so the vent is higher than the fuel level under normal boat operating conditions.
Engine Oil Recommendations
We recommend the use of Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified synthetic blend 25W‑40 4‑Stroke
Outboard Oil for general, all‑temperature use. If SAE 10W‑30 oil is preferred, use Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA
FC‑W certified 10W‑30 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil. If the recommended Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W certified
outboard oils are not available, a major brand of NMMA FC‑W certified 4‑stroke outboard oil of similar viscosity
may be used.
When operating in temperatures above 4 °C (40° F), we encourage the use of NMMA FC‑W certified synthetic
blend 25W‑40 4‑Stroke Outboard Oil.
IMPORTANT: The use of non detergent oils, multi‑viscosity oils (other than Mercury or Quicksilver NMMA FC‑W
certified oil or a major brand NMMA FC‑W certified oil), synthetic oils, low quality or oils that contain solid additives
are not recommended.
