Ethanol-Blended Gasoline
Gasoline is distributed throughout the world that
contains ethanol. Ethanol-blended gasoline should not
cause engine problems if the fuel and fuel system are
properly maintained according to the instructions given
in this manual. The chapters covering
Maintenance
and
Storage
outline measures to prevent the ethanol
from damaging the fuel system.
Ethanol has several characteristics that may lead to
failures in marine fuel systems;
•
Ethanol acts as a solvent and will loosen
contaminants or debris in the fuel system, which can
then clog filters, injectors and other parts.
•
Ethanol in gasoline attracts and holds water, which
can overload the fuel filter(s) and cause corrosion of
injectors, pumps, and other fuel system
components.
NOTICE!
Fuel system or engine damage caused by
water, foreign particles, sludge, or gum created by
ethanol fuel is not covered by warranty.
Volvo Penta Ethanol Fuel Treatment
(4)
, part number
22203959, should be used whenever fuel is added to
the boat, to maintain constant protection from
corrosion and oxidation. Add the treatment according
to the instructions on the label. Also use the treatment
for offseason storage (winterization), as part of the fuel
treatment process. See
.
Volvo Penta gasoline engines are equipped with a
water separating fuel filter (see
Engine Fuel Filter
Replacement
). The use of an additional water
separating fuel filter between the fuel tank and the
engine is recommended. The filter must be approved
for gasoline inboard installations and be installed in
accordance with US Coast Guard regulations and
ABYC standards. The filter must be rated for use with
gasoline and have a minimum rating of 50 gallons (189
liters) per hour.
Water separating fuel filters should be checked
frequently for water and contaminants in accordance
with the
or replace the filter(s) as part of diagnosing engine
performance issues (see
). Carry spare filters and needed tools
and supplies to change filters when boating.
