Use Fresh Fuel
The highly combustible vapors present in gasoline—what the
engineers call light ends—are lost when gas is stored for a
long period. For this reason, engineers recommend using only
fresh fuel in your outboard motor. Trying to use fuel left in
a tank over a period of several months can cause hard starting
and fuel system fouling.
