– Vapor lock or fuel starvation
– Starting and operating difficulties
– Deterioration of rubber or plastic
parts
– Corrosion of metal parts
– Damage to internal engine parts
– Have your dealer inspect for fuel
leaks or other fuel system abnor-
malities if you suspect the pres-
ence of alcohol in gasoline
exceeds the current government
regulation limits.

Biobutanol is a four-carbon alcohol
produced from renewable, plant-de-
rived energy sources in a fermentation
process similar to beer and wine pro-
duction. Biobutanol delivers more re-
newable energy content than ethanol
while remaining compatible with cur-
rent vehicles, boats, and infrastruc-
ture. Biobutanol does not phase
separate in the presence of water like
ethanol and is less corrosive to fuel
system components such as fuel
tanks, fuel fitting, and fuel hoses.
Biobutanol blended fuel (either isobu-
tanol or n-butanol) may be used in all
Evinrude outboards. Use of biobutanol
blended fuel will NOT void the war-
ranty of Evinrude outboards
Biobutanol blended fuel (Bu16 — up
to 16.1% by volume) has been ap-
proved for use by the National Marine
Manufacturers Association (NMMA).
