STORAGE
Distributor’s Limited Warranty
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate
in storage. Old gasoline will cause
hard starting, and it leaves gum
deposits that clog the fuel system. If
the gasoline in your fuel tank and
carburetor deteriorates during storage,
you may need to have the carburetor
and other fuel system components
serviced or replaced.
With the outboard motor in a
vertical position, place an
approved gasoline container below
the fuel drain outlet, and use a
funnel to avoid spilling fuel.
The length of time that gasoline can
be left in your fuel tank and
carburetor without causing functional
problems will vary with such factors
as gasoline blend, your storage
temperatures, and whether the fuel
tank is partially or completely filled.
The air in a partially filled fuel tank
promotes fuel deterioration. Very
warm storage temperatures accelerate
fuel deterioration. Fuel deterioration
problems may occur within a few
months, or even less if the gasoline
was not fresh when you filled the
fuel tank.
The
does not cover fuel system damage
or engine performance problems
resulting from neglected storage
preparation.
You can avoid fuel deterioration
problems by draining the fuel tank
and carburetors.
Disconnect the fuel hose from the
outboard motor. 1.
