Mercury already provides the appropriate level
of filtration to protect the engine from debris. The
addition of another in-line filter to the system will
create a possible flow restriction that can starve the
engine(s) of fuel. As a precaution, it is advisable to
carry extra on-engine filters in case filter plugging
from debris in the fuel tank becomes a problem
during boating.
M
ainTenance
Periodically inspect for the presence of water in the
fuel tank. If any is found, all water must be removed
and the tank completely dried before refilling the
tank with any fuel containing ethanol.
s
Torage
Long periods of storage and/or non-use, common
to boats, create unique problems. When preparing
to store a boat for extended periods, of two months
or more, it is best to completely remove all fuel from
the tank. If it is not possible to remove the fuel,
maintaining a full tank of fuel with a fuel stabilizer
added to provide fuel stability and corrosion
protection is recommended.
