Tips For Boaters
Label Your Fuel Cans Clearly
Always use separate, clearly labelled 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.
