Filling Fuel Tank - Mercury 225 Pro XS User Manual

NOTE: Filling this tank is only necessary if the oil level should ever drop
and the low oil warning system is activated.

Filling Fuel Tank

• Fill fuel tanks outdoors away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
• Remove portable fuel tanks from boat to refill them.
• Always stop engine before refilling tanks.
• Do not completely fill the fuel tanks. Leave approximately 10% of the
tank volume unfilled. Fuel will expand in volume as its temperature
rises and can leak under pressure if the tank is completely filled.
Avoid serious injury or death from a gasoline fire or explosion. Always
stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the
area while filling fuel tanks.
