FUEL AND OIL
GASOLINE
Use regular unleaded 87 octane (R+M
÷ 2) gasoline.
GASOLINE AND ITS VAPORS ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLO-
SIVE!
Do not smoke when refueling,
and keep away from sparks,
flames, or other sources of igni-
tion.
Stop engines and turn ignition
keys to Off before refueling.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area. If
the boat is in the water, be sure it
is securely moored to the fueling
dock. All passengers must be out
of the boat during refueling.
Take care not to spill gasoline. If
gasoline spills, wipe it up imme-
diately with dry rags. Always
properly dispose of gasoline-
soaked rags.
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank.
Stop filling when the fuel level
just reaches the bottom of the
filler tube. Do not fill up the filler
tube because fuel expands as it
warms up and could overflow.
Tighten the filler cap securely
after refueling.
If you should swallow some
gasoline, inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get gasoline in your
eyes, get immediate medical
attention.
If any gasoline spills onto your
skin, immediately wash with soap
and water. Change clothing if
gasoline spills on it.
Use only fresh gasoline that has
been stored in clean containers.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if ethanol content
does not exceed 10% and the fuel
meets minimum octane ratings.
Gasohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause fuel system damage or
engine performance problems.
Ring Free Fuel Additive
As fuel mixture burns in your engine's
combustion chambers, carbon
deposits are left behind. Over time,
these deposits can reduce perfor-
mance and even cause engine dam-
age. Marine engines tend to run at
lower operating temperatures than
other engines, making them more like-
ly to accumulate these harmful
deposits. Ring Free Fuel Additive,
available from your Yamaha dealer, is
formulated to remove existing deposits
and, when used continuously, prevent
new ones from forming, while also
helping to keep fuel injectors and other
fuel system components clean for
proper performance and longer engine
life.
