Fuel System
General Warnings
DANGER!
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive.
Always turn off the engine before refueling. Do not
smoke or allow open flames or sparks near the boat
when adding fuel. When filling the gas tank, ground the
tank to the source of gasoline by holding the hose noz-
zle firmly against the side of the deck filler plate, or
ground it in some other manner. This action prevents
static electricity buildup that could cause sparks and
ignite fuel vapors.
DANGER!
Fuel leakage can contribute to a fire and/or explosion.
Frequently inspect non-metallic parts of the engine’s
fuel system and replace if excessive stiffness, deteri-
oration, or fuel leakage is found.
DANGER!
To prevent fire and explosion, perform all service pro-
cedures with the engine turned OFF.
DANGER!
Failure to inspect your work may allow fuel leakage to
go undetected. This could become a fire or explosion
hazard.
Gasoline Requirements
Octane
Use unleaded gasoline with the following minimum
octane rating:
● In the U.S.: (R+M)/2 (AKI) - 87
● Outside the U.S.: (RON) - 90
NOTICE! Engine damage resulting from the use of
lower octane gasoline (below 87 AKI or 90 RON) is
considered misuse of the engine and is not covered by
the warranty.
All Volvo Penta gasoline engines are engineered to
operate on AKI 87 (RON 90) octane fuel. Mid-grade
and premium fuels contain injector cleaners and other
additives that protect the fuel system and provide
improved performance. EFI engines may obtain an
increase in power from higher octane fuels.
