where would one find octane requirement fuel stickers?

[weider1717]

My boat is an 84 the sticker at the fuel filler neck is kinda faded..needs replaced just wondered where you would buy one similiar to replace it?

mine actually says leaded or non leaded 88 octane or higher lol something like that I know it says leaded or non leaded haha.

thanks

You can special order one from a dealer, or even have one custom made, but why?

i don't see the need for it. it would probably run fine on 87 octane, which is the lowest at the pumps. most marinas are selling 89 octane.

well I'm sure if I simply remove it even though you can't tell by eye NOW i'm sure the finish is discolored from where the sticker was.

plus it's in such good shape even I'd say mint I want for it to continue looking new even though it's an 84.

so was just curious would one would find a decal like that. Is there some kind of EPA standard site or something that has MSDS decals, warning stickers etc...

I mean boat builders say like sea ray, and sting ray etc have to get theirs from somewhere for their new boats..

shouldn't be that hard to find one that says the same thing or similiar thing.

anymore thoughts? thanks

A sign shop could probably whip one up for you, or some place that deals with graphics.

Chances are you could probably find the right material and print one on your home computer if you were savvy enough.

Most boat builders hire out their graphics and have them shipped to them in bulk. You might have some luck looking at new boats and find one that carries the size you need and then contact the boat manufacturer via snail mail and ask them if you could get a replacement sticker from them....it would just be a matter of picking one out of the assembly line and throwing it in an envelope...good PR for them to send one off gratis...

Boat builders just go to a graphics company and have them print up whatever they need for current production, which is about the same thing you would need to do.

alright u talked me into photoshopping one, I already have vinyl sticker paper from where I photoshopped my flame arrestor decal myself...turned out PERFECT since mercruiser nolonger made that decal.

so guess I'll do it myself but just figured there was a site that carried that kinda stuff.
