USING REFORMULATED (OXYGENATED) FUELS (USA
ONLY)
This type of fuel is required in certain areas of the U.S. The two
types of oxygenates used in these fuels are alcohol (Ethanol) or
Ether (MTBE or ETBE). If Ethanol is the oxygenate that is used in
the gasoline in your area, refer to the
Fuel Containing Alcohol
section.
These reformulated fuels are acceptable for use in your Mercury
engine.
1. Mercury Racing does not recommend using leaded gasoline. Leaded gasoline
is acceptable in areas where unleaded gasoline is not available; however, lead
particles may build up in the exhaust passages and/or the combustion
chambers.
