Anti-Fouling Paint; Outboard Motor Disposal Requirements; Emergency Equipment - Yamaha F2.5B Owner's Manual

Specifications and requirements
 Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance or engine dam-
age. Use only fresh gasoline that has
been stored in clean containers.
E5
TIP:
 This mark identifies the recommended fuel
for this outboard motor as specified by Eu-
ropean regulation (EN228).
 Check that gasoline nozzle has the same
identifier when fueling.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol (E5 and E10) and that contain-
ing methanol. Ethanol can be used if the
ethanol content does not exceed 10% and
the fuel meets the minimum octane ratings.
E85 is a fuel containing 85% ethanol and
must not be used in your outboard motor. All
ethanol blends containing more than 10%
ethanol can cause fuel system damage or
cause engine starting and running problems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con-
taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage or engine performance prob-
lems.
It is recommended that you install a water-
separating marine fuel filter assembly (10 mi-
cron minimum) between your boat's fuel tank
and outboard motor when using ethanol. Eth-
anol is known to allow moisture to be ab-
13
E10
sorbed into boat fuel tanks and systems.
Moisture in the fuel can cause corrosion of
metallic fuel system components, starting
and running complaints and require addition-
al fuel system maintenance.

Anti-fouling paint

A clean hull improves boat performance. The
boat bottom should be kept as clean of ma-
rine growth as possible. If necessary, the
boat bottom can be coated with an anti-foul-
ing paint approved for your area to inhibit ma-
rine growth.
Do not use anti-fouling paint which includes
copper or graphite. These paints can cause
more rapid engine corrosion.

Outboard motor disposal re-
quirements
