GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL

If the gasoline in your area contains either “methanol” (methyl

alcohol) or “ethanol” (ethyl alcohol), you should be aware of certain

adverse effects that can occur. These adverse effects are more

severe with “methanol.” Increasing the percentage of alcohol in the

fuel can also worsen these adverse effects.

Some of these adverse effects are caused because the alcohol in the

gasoline can absorb moisture from the air, resulting in a separation

of the water/alcohol from the gasoline in the fuel tank.

The fuel system components on your Mercury MerCruiser engine will

withstand up to 10% alcohol content in the gasoline. We do not know

what percentage your boat’s fuel system will withstand. Contact your

boat manufacturer for specific recommendations on the boats fuel

system components (fuel tanks, fuel lines, and fittings). Be aware

that gasolines containing alcohol may cause increased:

• Corrosion of metal parts.

• Deterioration of rubber or plastic parts.

• Fuel permeation through rubber fuel lines.

• Starting and operating difficulties.
