EMU27233 ZMU01876 Filling fuel and engine oil EMU27270 Ring Free Fuel Additive Gasoline is a precise blend of many different substances, each chosen to give certain characteristics. Gasoline blends have been changing in recent years in response to concerns about pollution and resulting emissions regulations. One of the most obvious changes has been the elimination of lead from most fuels. As gasoline has changed, the amount of additives such as aromatics and oxygenates has increased. These additives are important for the engines in passenger cars, but they can have detrimental effects in marine engines, because of increased deposits in the combustion chamber. When enough deposits collect, piston rings begin sticking. Performance drops and engine wear increases dramatically. ZMU01875 28 Operation While many additives available may reduce deposits, Yamaha recommends the use of Ring Free Fuel Additive, available from your Yamaha dealer. Ring Free Fuel Additive has repeatedly proven its ability to clean combustion deposits from inside the engine, notably the critical piston-ring-land area, and fuel system components. Follow product labeling for use instructions. EMU27291 cate the amount of additional oil that can be added to the tank. The top oil level line indicates approximately 1. 9 L (0. 5 US gal, 0. 4 Imp gal) can be added, and the bottom oil level line indicates approximately 3. 8 L (1 US gal, 0. 8 Imp gal) can be added.
