Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss
of octane, volatile compounds, and
the production of gum and varnish de-
posits which can damage the fuel
system.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by coun-
try and region. Your vehicle has been
designed to operate using the recom-
mended fuels, however, be aware of
the following:
–
Use of fuel containing alcohol
above the percentage specified by
government regulations is not rec-
ommended and can result in the
following problems in the fuel sys-
tem components:
–
Starting and operating
difficulties.
– Deterioration of rubber or plas-
tic parts.
– Corrosion of metal parts.
– Damage to internal engine
parts.
– Inspect frequently for the presence
of fuel leaks or other fuel system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline ex-
ceeds the current government
regulations.
– Alcohol blended fuels attract and
hold moisture which may lead to
fuel phase separation and can re-
sult in engine performance prob-
lems or engine damage.

If the watercraft is equipped with a full
enclosure, it is recommended to open
a section to ventilate adequately while
fueling the gas tank.
1. Stop the engine.
2. If on the water, moor the watercraft
securely to the dock.
3. The operator and passenger (s)
must get off of the watercraft.
4. Unzip the canvas to get access to
the fuel tank cap.
5. Open the fuel cap slowly in a well
ventilated area to stabilize
pressure.

7. Pour fuel slowly so the air can es-
cape from the tank and prevent
fuel flow back. Be careful not to
spill fuel.
