EQUIREMENTS
Use a major brand of unleaded gasoline, preferably without alcohol.
Mercury Marine recommends fuels that contain fuel injector cleaner
for added internal cleanliness.

WARNING
Fuel leakage is a fire or explosion hazard, which can cause serious
injury or death. Periodically inspect all fuel system components for
leaks, softening, hardening, swelling, or corrosion, particularly after
storage. Any sign of leakage or deterioration requires replacement
before further engine operation.
NOTICE
The use of improper fuel can cause serious damage to the engine.
Damage resulting from the use of improper fuel is considered
engine misuse and is not covered under the limited warranty. Use
only the recommended fuel in the engine.

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.

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.
