Quicksilver 675SD — System & Component Overview and Operation

 

14

 

 

engine(s) have been tested to perform with the maximum level of ethanol blended gasoline (10% 
ethanol), currently allowed by the EPA in the United States.  

 

 

Special precautions should be considered with the use of fuel containing ethanol in your system. Fuels 
with ethanol can attack some fuel

-

system components, such as tanks and lines, if they are not made 

from acceptable ethanol

-

compatible materials. This can lead to operational problems or safety issues 

such as clogged filters, leaks, or engine damage.

 

 

Your boat was manufactured, and shipped from the factory with ethanol compatible materials. Before 
introducing petrol with ethanol into your fuel tank, ask your dealer if any components have been 
added or replaced that are not recommended by Quicksilver®, Mercury or may not be ethanol

-

compatible.    

 

 

Filling The Tank

 

It is best to maintain a full tank of fuel when the engine is not in use. This will reduce the air flow in 
and out of the tank due to changes in temperature as well as limiting exposure of ethanol in the fuel 
to humidity and condensation.

 

 

When filling the tank, do not attempt to top off the tank. When the nozzle shuts off, the tank is full, 
and continuing to fill past the fuel fill shutoff will cause the system to spit fuel back.

 

Phase Separation

 

Humidity and condensation create water in your fuel tank which can adversely effect the ethanol 
blended fuel. A condition called phase separation can occur if water is drawn into the fuel beyond the 
saturation point. The presence for water in the fuel beyond the saturation level will cause most of the 
ethanol in the fuel to separate from the bulk fuel and drop to the bottom of the tank, significantly 
reducing the level of ethanol in the fuel mixture in the upper level (phase). If the lower level (phase), 
consisting of water and ethanol, is deep enough to reach the fuel inlet, it could be pumped directly 
into the engine and cause significant problems. Engine problems can also result from the reduced 
ethanol/fuel mixture left in the upper phase of the tank.  

 

 

Additives

 

There is no practical additive known that can prevent or correct phase separation. The only solution is 
to keep water from accumulating in the tank. If phase separation does occur, your only remedy is to 
drain the fuel, clean and dry the tank completely and refill with a fresh, clean tank of fuel.

 

 

Fuel Filters

 

Mercury already provided the appropriate level of filtration to protect the engine from debris. The 
addition of another in

-

line filter to the system will create a possible flow restriction that can starve the 

engine of fuel. As a precaution, it is advisable to carry extra on

-

engine filters in case filter plugging 

from debris becomes a problem during boating.  

 

 

Maintenance

 

Periodically inspect for the presence of water in the fuel tank. If any is found, all water must be 
removed and the tank completely dried before refilling the tank with any fuel containing ethanol.

 

Do not store any equipment containing petrol (outboard 

engines, portable petrol tanks, etc.) in any cockpit storage 

areas, unless it has adequate ventilation as specified by 

Quicksilver®. 

 

Petrol vapors can explode. Never smoke while handling or 

filling up the petrol tank. Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion 

hazard. Inspect the fuel system annually to make sure that 

there are no leaks and corrosion in the system.
