Fuel requirements
EMU44791
Gasoline
Use a good quality gasoline that meets the
minimum octane requirement. If knocking or
pinging occurs, use a different brand of gas-
oline or premium unleaded fuel. Yamaha
recommends that you use alcohol-free gaso-
line (see Gasoline with Ethanol) whenever
possible.
The use of a poor quality gasoline may result
in starting and running problems. If you en-
counter drivability problems, which you sus-
pect could be related to the fuel you are
using, Yamaha recommends that you switch
to a recognized high quality brand of gaso-
line, such as a gasoline that is advertised as
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. (North America
only)
NOTICE:
Failure to comply with
these recommendations may also result
in unscheduled maintenance, fuel system
damage, and internal engine damage.

NOTICE
ECM01982
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
Avoid getting water and contaminants
in the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
Gasoline with Ethanol
Two types of gasoline are commonly avail-
able in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia and
New Zealand for use in automobiles and
boats: conventional gasoline without Ethanol
and gasoline with Ethanol, which is typically
referred to as E10 gasoline. According to
federal regulations, E10 gasoline may con-
tain up to 10% Ethanol.
A high quality gasoline without Ethanol is the
preferred fuel for your Yamaha outboard mo-
tor. However, if gasoline with Ethanol is the
only fuel available in your area, your Yamaha
outboard motor is calibrated to run properly
