Fuel requirementsEJU45311FuelEWJ00283
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and
explosions and to reduce the risk of in-
jury when refueling, follow these in-
structions.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause in-
jury or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline, inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor imme-
diately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
ECJ00322
Do not use leaded gasoline. Leaded
gasoline can seriously damage the en-
gine.
Avoid getting water and contaminants in
the fuel tank. Contaminated fuel can
cause poor performance and engine
damage. Use only fresh gasoline that
has been stored in clean containers.
TIP
This mark identifies the recommended fuel
for this watercraft as specified by European
regulation (EN228).
Check that the gasoline nozzle has the
same identifier when fueling.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and gasohol containing meth-
anol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if
the ethanol content does not exceed 10%
and the fuel meets the minimum octane rat-
ings. E-85 is a fuel blend containing 85% eth-
anol and therefore must not be used in this
watercraft. All ethanol blends containing
more than 10% ethanol can cause fuel sys-
tem damage or engine performance prob-
lems.
Yamaha does not recommend gasohol con- taining methanol because it can cause fuel
system damage and engine performance
problems.
To fill the fuel tank:
(1) Before refueling, stop the engine. Do not stand or sit on the watercraft. Never refu-
el while smoking, or while in the vicinity
of sparks, open flames, or other sources
of ignition.
(2) Place the watercraft in a well-ventilated area and in a horizontal position.
Recommended fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline with a mi-
nimum octane rating of86
(Pump octane number) = (R + M)/2
90 (Research octane number)
