Interesting that they say to run all the gas out.


I would actually disagree with this part of the article. According to Steve Miller, Global Brand Manager for the Verado and 75-115 Fourstrokes, he says in a video clip on the Mercury Facebook page to top the fuel off, storing the boat with a full tank of gas, allowing less chance of condensation to build up in the tank. He suggests using the three step Mercury Fuel Care System also.

Reading on the verado club site I think what they might be getting at is that the motor should be drained of fuel or run out of fuel. The plastic float used in the yamahas and verados can be eaten by ethanol.
