pors are flammable and explosive.

● If you have any question about properly

doing this procedure, consult your

Yamaha dealer.

● Keep away from sparks, cigarettes,

flames, or other sources of ignition

when cleaning the fuel tank.

● Remove the fuel tank from the boat be-

fore cleaning it. Work only outdoors in

an area with good ventilation.

● Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.

● Reassemble the fuel tank carefully. Im-

proper assembly can result in a fuel

leak, which could result in a fire or ex-

plosion hazard.

● Dispose of old gasoline according to lo-

cal regulations.

1. Empty the fuel tank into an approved con-

tainer.

into the tank. Install the cap and shake
