Mercury Pro XS Gasoline Question - 02/16/16 01:30 PM
My buddy has a 2012 250 Pro XS that recently shot a rod, therefor causing it to fail. Upon taking it to a local mechanic to do the warranty work in putting a new powerhead in, the mechanic told him that this is not covered under warranty because he was running premium gasoline.
The reason the mechanic gave him for the motor failure was the fuel to air ratio.
The question I have is, should I not be running Plus or Premium gasoline in my Mercury? Could this cause it to over heat?
I was always told to run the highest grade gasoline in my outboards.
