FUEL REQUIREMENTS

GASOLINE(PETROL)

GASOLINE (PETROL) AND ITS VAPORS
ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND EXPLO-
SIVE!
Do not smoke when refueling, and
keep away from sparks, flames, or
other sources of ignition.
Stop engine before refueling.
Refuel in a well-ventilated area. Do not
stand or sit on the water vehicle while
refueling in case of fire.
Take care not to spill gasoline (petrol).
If gasoline (petrol) spills, wipe it up
immediately with dry rags. Always
properly dispose of gasoline-soaked
rags.
Avoid overfilling the fuel tank. Stop fill-
ing when the fuel level just reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Do not fill up
the filler tube because fuel expands as
it warms up and could overflow.
Tighten the filler cap securely after
refueling.
If you should swallow some gasoline
(petrol), inhale a lot of gasoline (petrol)
vapor, or get gasoline (petrol) in your
eyes, get immediate medical attention.
If any gasoline (petrol) spills onto your
skin, immediately wash with soap and
water. Change clothing if gasoline
(petrol) spills on it.
Use only fresh gasoline (petrol) that has
been stored in clean containers.
Recommended gasoline:
Unleaded regular gasoline
Minimum octane rating:
86 (Pump octane number): (R+M)/2
90 (Research octane number)
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol
containing ethanol and that containing
methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol
can be used if ethanol content does not
exceed 10% and the fuel meets minimum
octane ratings. Gasohol containing
methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause fuel system
damage or engine performance prob-
lems.
