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.

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-
