FUEL AND OIL

  

44

eng

The fuel system components on your Mercury Marine engine will

withstand up to 10% alcohol content in the gasoline. We do not

know what percentage your boat's fuel system will withstand.

Contact your boat manufacturer for specific recommendations on

the boat's fuel system components (fuel tanks, fuel lines, and

fittings). Be aware that gasolines containing alcohol may cause

increased:

• Corrosion of metal parts
• Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts
• Fuel permeation through rubber fuel lines
• Starting and operating difficulties

!

 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.

Because of possible adverse effects of alcohol in gasoline, it is

recommended that only alcohol‑free gasoline be used where

possible. If only fuel containing alcohol is available, or if the

presence of alcohol is unknown, increased inspection frequency

for leaks and abnormalities is required.
IMPORTANT: When operating a Mercury Marine engine on

gasoline containing alcohol, storage of gasoline in the fuel tank

for long periods should be avoided. Long periods of storage,

common to boats, create unique problems. In cars, alcohol‑blend

fuels normally are consumed before they can absorb enough

moisture to cause trouble, but boats often sit idle long enough for

phase separation to take place. In addition, internal corrosion

may take place during storage if alcohol has washed protective

oil films from internal components.
