Fuel; Preparation Of The Fuel - SELVA MARINE Corse Owner's Manual

FUEL

Fuel
The fuel used for the propulsion of internal
combustion engines is highly flammable and, in
certain cases can become explosive.
Refueling and maintenance operations must be done
in a well-ventilated area and with the engine stopped.
Do not smoke while refueling, keep away from
sparks, flames, or other sources of ignition, which
could cause fire or explosion.
Do not spill gasoline. If gasoline spills, wipe it
immediately with dry rags, before starting the motor .
Do not overfill the fuel tank, because gasoline
expands with the heat and the sun radiation.
Tighten the filler cap securely after refueling.
Do not let gasoline get into your eyes or onto your
skin. Avoid swallowing gasoline or inhaling its vapor.
Do not pour fuel off using a pipe.
KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN

Preparation of the fuel

Use only petrol with an octane number higher than 95
N.O. Research and that does not contain alcohol, with the
addition of 2% of oil proper for mixture (see the detailed list)
For the motors with incorporated fuel tank it is preferable to
use already prepared mixture or you should remove the top
cowling and mix the fuel thoroughly by shaking. In this case at
the end of this operation, you must check the proper
connection of the fast fuel joint, before replacing the cowling.
Picture No. 35
It is a good practice, if you use the motor after a break
longer than one day, to shake the fuel tank in order to mix oil
and petrol thoroughly.
Fuel pipe connection
To connect the fuel pipe to the incorporated fuel tank you need
to link the connection of the pipe to the connection on the fuel
tank placed inside the top cowling.
At this point check the connection by pulling the connection
(don't pull the pipe).
To disconnect pull back the knurled outer ring of the fuel
connector which releases the pipe.
The pipe's connection must be made when the
engine is OFF. Never remove the top cowling when the
engine's running.
