Adding a fuel stabilizer

When adding a fuel stabilizer additive
(commercially available), first fill the fuel
tank with fresh fuel. If the fuel tank is only
partially filled, air in the tank can cause the
fuel to deteriorate during storage.
1. Before adding fuel stabilizer additive,
d r a i n t h e v a p o r s e p a r a t o r ( S e e
page 81).
2. Follow the instructions on the label
when adding the fuel stabilizer additive.
3. After adding the additive, let the out-
board motor run in the water for 10
minutes to make sure any old fuel in
the fuel system has been completely
replaced by the fuel with additive.
4. Turn the engine OFF

If your motor is used occasionally, it is rec-
ommended to use a good fuel stabilizer in
every tank of fuel and keep the container full
to reduce condensation and evaporation.
