FUEL SYSTEM TREATMENT
Boats that are going to be stored for extended periods (more than one
month) or winterized should have the fuel systems prepared according to
the boat manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING!
Always follow the boat manufacturer’s instructions on how
to properly winterize the fuel tank prior to storage.
A fuel stabilizer, such
as STA-BIL, may also be used during long-term storage and winterization
of the engine. Follow the directions provided by the stabilizer’s
manufacturer.
NOTICE: Always perform the proper storage procedures when
storing the boat. Extended storage with fuel in the system can
affect fuel stability and may require system inspection and fuel filter
replacement when the boat returns to service. Fuel systems on all
boats equipped with Ilmor High-Performance Marine engines MUST
be properly prepared for storage periods exceeding 30 days. Owners
are encouraged to seek assistance from an authorized Ilmor High-
Performance Marine service center to properly prepare the drive train
for periods of inactivity exceeding one month. Damage due to improper
storage and/or winterization preparations is not covered under warranty.
OIL STORAGE/WINTERIZATION
Contaminants in used oil can cause engine damage during storage.
Perform an oil change and run the engine to operating temperature to
allow new oil recirculation.
