Adding a fuel stabilizer
When adding a fuel stabilizer additive
(commercially available), first fill the fuel
tank with fresh fuel. If the fuel tank is only
partially filled, air in the tank can cause the
fuel to deteriorate during storage.
1. Before adding fuel stabilizer additive,
drain the carburetor (See page 79).
2. Follow the instructions on the label
when adding the fuel stabilizer additive.
3. After adding the additive, let the out-
board motor run in the water for 10
minutes to make sure any old fuel in
the fuel system has been completely
replaced by the fuel with additive.
4. Turn the engine OFF
