GENERAL INFORMATION
Before operating or maintaining the engine, review
“Safety” on page 1-1.
WARNING! Fuel is extremely flammable and
explosive under certain conditions.
When refueling,
stop the engine, make sure to open the motor box and
run the blower during and after the re-fueling operation.
Fuels containing alcohol will suffer from a condition
called “phase separation” over time. The condition
also occurs when water is introduced to the fuel. This
phase separated fuel will result in a layer of alcohol or
alcohol water mixture at the bottom of the fuel tank that
will cause misfires and severe damage to your engine.
Damages caused by old or phase separated fuel are not
covered by Indmar’s Limited Warranty.
To avoid this issue, buy fuel in small quantities so it
gets used up instead of sitting in the tank for more than
two weeks. Be diligent about preventing water from
contaminating the fuel. Use Indmar Fuel Treatment
every time you add fuel. If the fuel has experienced
phase separation, the tank must be drained and the fuel
disposed of.
USING OXYGENATED FUELS OR FUELS WITH
ALCOHOL
Ethyl alcohol, ethanol or grain alcohol is acceptable as
long as it is a blend and the blended fuel contains no
more than 10% ethanol.
!
CAUTION
Engine damage:
x
Fuels that are blended to contain more than
10% ethanol should not be used in Indmar
engines and will damage your engine.
Damages caused by the use of fuels that
contain more than 10% ethanol are not covered
by your warranty.
x
Fuels that are blended to contain methanol or
wood alcohol should not be used in Indmar
engines. These fuels can corrode metal parts
in your fuel system and engine. Fuels that
contain methanol will damage your engine.
Damage caused by the use of fuels that contain
methanol is not covered by your warranty.
