STORAGE
Adding a Fuel Stabilizer
When adding a fuel stabilizer, fill the
fuel tank with fresh gasoline. If only
partially filled, air in the tank will
promote fuel deterioration during
storage. If you keep an additional
container of gasoline for refueling,
be sure that it contains only fresh
gasoline.
1.
Add fuel stabilizer following the
manufacturer's instructions.
2.
After adding a fuel stabilizer, run
the engine in water for 10 minutes
to be sure that the treated gasoline
has replaced the untreated gasoline
in the carburetor.
3.
Turn the engine OFF.

Draining the Fuel System

DRAIN SCREW
2.
With the outboard motor in a
vertical position, place an
approved gasoline container below
the fuel drain outlet, and use a
funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
Gasoline is highly
flammable and explosive.
You can be burned or
seriously injured when
handling fuel.
Stop the engine and keep
heat, sparks, and flame
away.
Handle fuel only
outdoors.
Wipe up spills
immediately.
