What to Look For
Confirm diesel vs petrol before you lift the nozzle
Label every jerry can clearly — petrol vs diesel
Keep tender and main-engine fuel separate and marked
Watch ethanol (E10) in older outboards — it absorbs water
Fit and use a clear fuel/water separator you can inspect
Top up tanks before lay-up to cut condensation
Add a fuel stabiliser if the boat will sit for months
Service filters on schedule, not just when they block
