Adding a fuel stabilizer
When adding a fuel stabilizer additive
(commercially available), first fill the fuel
tank with fresh oil and fuel. If the fuel tank
is only partially filled, air in the tank can
cause the fuel to deteriorate during stor-
age.
1. Before adding fuel stabilizer additive,
drain the carburetor (See 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

Note
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.
