FYI:
Just received this tidbit of info from one of our esteemed members here, TomS, in regards to winterizing the VST (Vapor Separator Tank) on the newer Yamaha OBs:
"I didn't do anything special for my VST. I just stabilized the fuel and ran the engine long enough to ensure that the VST was full of stabilized fuel.
I'm basically leaving the VST tank full of fuel. I've heard of people having problems when the vst pump is allowed to run dry, and also to avoid any corrosion on this expensive part that may occur if it is stored dry.
In the Spring, I will drain out all the old fuel out of the VST, clean the filter, replace the gasket, and start it back up with some fresh gas."
Hope this helps others ...
