Gasoline

Recommended gasoline:
Premium unleaded gasoline with a
minimum octane rating of 89 (Pump
Octane Number) = (R+M)/2

Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
ethanol content does not exceed 10% and the
fuel meets minimum octane ratings. E-85 is a
fuel blend containing 85% ethanol and there-
fore must not be used in your outboard motor.
All ethanol blends containing more than 10%
ethanol can cause fuel system damage or en-
gine performance problems. Yamaha does
not recommend gasohol-containing methanol
because it can cause fuel system damage or
engine performance problems.
