The Mercury Fuel Care System Advantage
With Mercury, there’s no need to guess about which products are
best to keep your engine’s fuel in top form. The Mercury Fuel Care
System is one complete system, specially formulated by the people
who made your engine to help it run its best. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 –
regardless of whether you use ethanol- or non-ethanol-blended fuels.
That’s because Mercury's fuel care system helps prevent problems
commonly associated with both types of fuel, such as:
Ethanol-blended
- Corrosion
- Gum and varnish build-up
- Phase separation
Non-ethanol-blended
- Moisture
- Corrosion
- Fuel breakdown and oxidation

Why Fuel Care is Important
Even more than
the gas in your car, the gas in your boat needs special care to keep
your engine running at peak performance. Gasoline begins to go bad
within about two weeks. When left untreated, some of the fuel components
begin to oxidize and form a gum-like substance. The substance settles
in fuel lines and tanks, carburetors and injectors. When you try to burn
this fuel, deposits can form in the combustion chamber. Over time,
these deposits build up and reduce your engine’s performance.
Fuel additives
keep your fuel optimized, protect your fuel system, and remove any
leftover deposits. With the Mercury Fuel Care System, you can trust that
you’re using products that are specially formulated – by your engine’s
manufacturer – to help you get the most from your Mercury engine.
The Mercury Fuel
Care System is the first line of defense against fuel-related problems.
However, Mercury also recommends the following precautions to protect
your engine:
- Buy gas from known and trusted sources whenever possible.
- Keep your gas tanks clean and check them periodically for water and sediment.
- Check your fuel filter often. Fuel filters help prevent fuel
contaminants from entering your engine. Under certain conditions it is
possible for filters to suddenly become clogged, so always keep an extra
filter on board should it need immediate replacement.

EPA Pressurized Portable Fuel Tank Requirements
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will require portable
fuel systems that are produced after January 1, 2011 for use with
outboard engines to remain fully sealed (pressurized) up to 34.4 kPa
(5.0 psi). These tanks may contain the following:
- An air inlet that opens to allow air to enter as the fuel is drawn out of the tank.
- An air outlet that opens (vents) to the atmosphere if pressure exceeds 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi).
Fuel Demand Valve (FDV) Requirement
Whenever a pressurized fuel tank is used, a fuel demand valve is
required to be installed in the fuel hose between the fuel tank and
primer bulb. The fuel demand valve prevents pressurized fuel from
entering the engine and causing a fuel system overflow or possible fuel
spillage.
The fuel demand valve has a manual release. The manual release can
be used (pushed in) to open (bypass) the valve in case of a fuel
blockage in the valve.
A - Fuel hose between the fuel tank and primer bulb
B - Manual Release
C - Vent/water drain holes
Mercury Marine's Pressurized Portable Fuel Tank
Mercury Marine has created a new portable pressurized fuel tank
that meets the preceding EPA requirements. These fuel tanks are
available as an accessory or are provided with certain portable outboard
models.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE PORTABLE FUEL TANK
- The fuel tank has a two-way valve which allows air to enter the
tank as the fuel is drawn to the engine, and also opens to vent to the
atmosphere if internal pressure in the tank exceeds 34.4 kPa (5.0 psi). A
hissing noise may be heard as the tank vents to the atmosphere. This is
normal.
- The fuel tank includes a fuel demand valve that prevents
pressurized fuel from entering the engine and causing a fuel system
overflow or possible fuel spillage.
- When installing the fuel tank cap, turn the cap to the right
until you hear a click. This signals that the fuel cap is fully seated. A
built-in device prevents overtightening.
- The fuel tank has a manual vent screw which should be closed for transportation and open for operation and cap removal.
Since sealed fuel tanks are not openly vented, they will expand and
contract as the fuel expands and contracts during heating and cooling
cycles of the outside air. This is normal.
REMOVING THE FUEL CAP
A - Fuel Cap
B - Manual vent screw
C - Tab lock
IMPORTANT: contents may be under pressure. Rotate the fuel cap 1/4 turn to relieve pressure before opening.
- Open the manual vent screw on top of the fuel cap
- Turn the cap until it contacts the tab lock.
- Press down on the tab lock. Rotate the fuel cap 1/4 turn to relieve the pressure.
- Press down on the tab lock again and remove the cap.
DIRECTIONS FOR USING THE PRESSURIZED PORTABLE FUEL TANK
- When installing the fuel tank cap, turn the cap to the right
until you hear a click. This signals that the fuel cap is fully seated. A
built-in device prevents over-tightening.
- Open the manual vent screw on top of the cap for operation and cap removal. Close the manual vent screw for transportation.
- For fuel hoses that have quick disconnects, disconnect the fuel line from the engine or fuel tank when not in use.
- Follow Filling the Fuel Tank instructions in your Operation, Maintenance and Warranty manual for refueling.
FAQs
Do I need to use a fuel demand valve?
Yes, when the tank is pressurized.
How will I know if I have a pressurized fuel system?
It will be indicated by the tank cap (will ratchet similar to automotive).
Does the fuel demand valve need to be in that position in the fuel line assembly?
No, it can be anywhere as long as it's between the fuel tank and the primer bulb in the fuel line assembly.
If I want to fill the tank, what should I do if I notice the tank is under pressure?
Rotate the fuel cap 1/4 turn to release pressure (see the four-step
process above or refer to your Operation, Maintenance and Warranty
manual).
Does the fuel demand valve have to be in a certain position (i.e. always facing up) to work?
It will function in any position.
What is the purpose of the holes in the top of the fuel demand valve?
The purpose is for venting the back side of the valve and water
drainage away from the fuel demand valve diaphragm; the valve can be
opened by depressing valve mechanism through slot on cover (manual over
ride).
Is it ok to use 10% ethanol fuel with the fuel demand valve?
Yes
