Storage And Winterization; Fuel System Treatment - ILMOR MV8 Owner's Manual

Section 8
STORAGE AND
WINTERIZATION
A WARNING! Always follow the boat manufacturer's instructions
on how to properly winterize the fuel tank prior to storage. Leaking
of fuel into the boat and potentially into the storage area could
result in substantial damage to the boat, and contact with any
spark (such as a flame-producing pilot light in a heater) could also
result in property damage and serious injury or death.
Proper storage and/or winterization preparations are just as important
as how a drive train is maintained in use. Since special preparations are
necessary, the boat owner should have the work done by a certified lmor
dealer. Damage that occurs from improper storage and/or winterization is
not covered under warranty and must be avoided.
Engine winterization requires changing the engine oil/filter, draining all
raw water from the cooling system and adding marine/RV antifreeze to all
raw water engine components.
NOTICE: Always perform the proper storage procedures when storing
the boat. Extended storage with fuel in the system can affect fuel
stability and may require system inspection and fuel filter replacement
when the boat returns to service. Fuel systems on all boats equipped
with Ilmor MV8 engines MUST be properly prepared for storage periods
exceeding 1 month, as outlined in this Owner's Manual. Owners are
encouraged to seek assistance from a certified Ilmor dealer to properly
prepare the drive train for periods of inactivity exceeding 1 month.
Damage due to improper storage or winterization preparations is not
covered under warranty.

FUEL SYSTEM TREATMENT

Boats that are going to be stored for extended periods (more than 1 month)
or winterized should have attention for the fuel system. Always follow the
boat manufacturer's instructions on how to properly winterize the fuel tank
prior to storage:
WARNING! Always follow the boat manufacturer's instructions on how
to properly winterize the fuel tank prior to storage. A fuel stabilizer, such
as STA-BIL, may also be used during long-term storage and winterization
of the engine. Follow the directions provided by the stabilizer's
manufacturer.
