Keep your fuel system clean is the key to longer running engines


Mercury Marine’s simple, easy to follow fuel care system takes the guesswork out of choosing the right fuel additive for your boat engine. Easy to read, numbered labels describe when each product should be used – eliminating unnecessary confusion.

Quickare, Quickleen and Quickstor fuel additives are essential in helping keep your engine running at its peak. By regularly using these fuel care products, your engine may start easier, idle smoother and hit the hole shot quicker. Other benefits include extended spark plug life and less stalling from cold engine starts. All three of Mercury’s fuel care products can be used in any 2-cycle or 4-cycle gasoline engine with any octane grade – including ethanol-blended. They are also safe for catalyzed engines.

Most of today’s gasoline can begin to break down and oxidize within weeks, leaving behind deposits that hinder an engine’s performance and fuel economy. Mercury’s new fuel treatment, Quickare, is designed to be used with every fill-up. Besides keeping fuel fresh between fill-ups, it helps prevent problems associated with ethanol-blended fuel, such as corrosion, rust, oxidation, gum and varnish build-up and phase separation. It also controls moisture and corrosion problems associated with non-ethanol fuel. A 12-oz. bottle will treat up to 120 gallons of gasoline.

Quickleen, Mercury Marine’s engine and fuel system cleaner, is the same formula customers have relied on for years. The deep cleaning engine treatment keeps engine parts lubricated and free of excess carbon deposits, which can cause performance problems or even engine damage.

Powerful cleaning properties remove and prevent carbon from forming on spark plugs, combustion chambers, pistons, intake valves, and carburetors. Thus, it can help prevent fouled spark plugs, damaged pistons, broken rings and scored cylinders. Regular use of Quickleen helps maximize performance, fuel economy and engine reliability. One 12-oz. bottle will treat up to 60 gallons of fuel.

Quickstor, Mercury Marine’s improved fuel stabilizer, is now two times stronger. Help prevent fuel from breaking down and oxidizing by adding it to gasoline before storing your engine. It also prevents fuel system corrosion and keeps fuel injectors and carburetors lubricated. One 12-oz. bottle will treat up to 60 gallons of gasoline.

Customers can purchase all three fuel products at their local Mercury dealership. Additional information is available at mercurymarine.com.
