Tips For Boaters

Label Your Fuel Cans Clearly

Always use separate, clearly labeled containers for different fuel types. Color-code them for easy identification at the boat ramp.

Know Your Engine Requirements

Check your owner's manual and place a reminder sticker near your fuel fill cap. Some 2-stroke engines require specific fuel types.

Be Careful With Ethanol Fuels

E10 can damage older marine engines. Check if your engine is ethanol-compatible before using E10 fuel.

Take Your Time At The Pump

Marine fueling is different from cars. Double-check the pump before filling, and never rush the process.
