4 steps to protect your outboard motor from Ethanol

Nov. 20, 2024

1. Install a 10-micron fuel / water separating filter on your 2 stroke outboard motor. This allows water to safely sink out of the fuel and collect at the bottom of the filter. We recommend the Yamaha spin-on 10-micron filter. This specific filter has an extra large water retention area and will catch the tiniest debris allowing only clean fuel to get to your outboard.

2. Add fuel stabilizer and conditioner every time you fuel up. There are many quality options that you can choose from. Just make sure that it is a marine product and a non-alcohol based formula. A couple options to look at are Yamalube Fuel Stabalizer and Conditioner, Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment, Sta-Bil Ethanol Treatment and Stabilizer.

3. Add an internal engine cleaner to every tank of fuel. We only recommend one product for this step, Yamalube Ring Free Plus. This product does three things for you. One, it enhances performance by stopping carbon from sticking to engine components. Second, it protects your engine components from corrosion and finally it cleans deposits off your internal engine and fuel system.

4. By your gas from places that sell a lot of gas. Special note – Pay special attention to this late in the season, you might need to find somewhere else other than your normal fuel dock. You want to buy the most fresh and potent gas possible, you certainly don’t want to be getting left over fuel that has been sitting around untreated.
