SECTION TWO
BIOBUTANOL-BLENDED GASOLINE
Engines covered by this manual have been approved
by Indmar for operation on gasoline blended with 16%
Biobutanol, or
Bu16
.
Use of Biobutanol will
not
void the warranty of Indmar
gasoline engines.
Indmar and the National Marine Manufacturers
Association encourage the use of Biobutanol in marine
engines.
Biobutanol (either isobutanol or n-butanol) is created
from biomass and is blended with gasoline to help meet
renewable fuel mandates and clean air standards. Bu16
contains a higher percentage (16%) of renewable fuels
than traditional E10 gasoline (10%), without sacrificing
engine performance or reliability.
Bu16 can be mixed with any E10 or other approved fuel
already in the boat’s fuel tank(s).
Biobutanol is chemically different from ethanol and
does not have ethanol’s negative characteristics when
blended in fuel. The Bu16 fuel blend does not absorb
water like E10; the phase separation common in E10
fuel does not occur in Bu16. Isobutanol is not a corrosive
agent (ethanol is highly corrosive) and will not damage
fuel system parts. These characteristics, combined with
a significantly higher energy content, make Bu16 fuel
ideal for marine engines.
FUELS IN OTHER COUNTRIES
If you operate your Indmar engine outside the USA
or Canada, unleaded fuels may be difficult to obtain.
Leaded fuels must not be used in engines with catalytic
converters or serious damage will occur.
