FUEL
Fuel
The fuel used for the propulsion of internal combustion engines
is highly flammable and, in certain cases can become
explosive.
Refuelling and maintenance operations must be done in a well-
ventilated area and with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke while refuelling, keep away from sparks, flames,
or other sources of ignition, which could cause fire or
explosion.
Do not spill gasoline. If gasoline spills, wipe it immediately with
dry rags, before starting the motor .
Do not overfill the fuel tank, because gasoline expands with
the heat and the sun radiation.
Tighten the filler cap securely after refuelling.
Do not let gasoline get into your eyes or onto your skin. Avoid
swallowing gasoline or inhaling its vapour. Do not pour fuel off
using a pipe.
If you should swallow some gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline
vapour, get some gasoline in your eyes, or if any gasoline
spills onto your skin, get immediate medical attention.
Keep out from children reach.
Preparation of the fuel
Use only petrol with a octane number higher than 95 N.O.
Research and that does not contain alcohol, with the addition
of 2% of oil proper for mixture (see the detailed list)
Pour first the oil and then the petrol into the fuel tank, then mix
the fuel thoroughly by shaking. It is a good custom, if you use
the motor after a break longer than one day, to shake the fuel
tank in order to mix oil and petrol thoroughly.
Fuel tank clamping and pipes connection
Put the fuel tank horizontally in the hull, anchored to the bottom, in a place
where it does not hinder your movements and so that the pipe is long
enough to reach the motor.
Then connect the pipe to the fuel joint.
For this operation you have to insert the female fast fuel connector.
