From the FAQ Section:
"Mercury Component Cocktail"- for EVERY tank of fuel, whether or not your fuel contains Ethanol: (Chemically, this works much the same as the previously recommended (and now to avoid alcohol content) cocktail, and requires less components.) This is Don's Preferred "Cocktail":
-1oz Mercury QuickCare +
-1oz Mercury QuickLeen
----------------------------
Per 5 Gallons of Fuel (in EVERY TANK).
In addition to the above, it is acceptable to add 150:1 mix of Premium PLUS in the fuel tank (for OPTIMAX engine models). This has been proven to benefit fuel system components by providing additional lubrication ONLY to the fuel system components (especially the direct injectors- which are often left DRY after engine shutdown).
(If leaving fuel in boat for more than 30 days, be sure to also add Mercury QuickStor).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuel Selection:
Make your fuel selections based on the following criteria, IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
-High Traffic, Top-Tier (Name Brand) Fuel
-Appropriate Octane Rating (see above info)
-Lowest possible ethanol content (NEVER to exceed 10%).
-While it may be preferable to utilize a fuel that contains lower (or no) ethanol, use of fuels that are SUBSTANTIALLY higher octane can result in decreased performance, decreased fuel economy, and potential for carbon buildup. Higher octane fuels burn SLOWER and COOLER.
