FUEL & OIL
36
• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires that any
outboard manufactured after January 1, 2009 must use low
permeation fuel hose for the primary fuel hose connecting the
fuel tank to the outboard.
• Low permeation hose is USCG Type B1‑15 or Type A1‑15,
defined as not exceeding 15/gm²/24 h with CE 10 fuel at
23 °C as specified in SAE J 1527 ‑ marine fuel hose.
Oil Recommendation
Recommended Oil
Mercury or Quicksilver Premium 2-Cycle TC-W3
Outboard Oil
IMPORTANT: Oil must be NMMA certified TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil.
Mercury or Quicksilver Premium TC‑W3 2‑Cycle oil is
recommended for this engine. For added protection and
lubrication, Mercury or Quicksilver Premium Plus TC‑W3 2‑Cycle
oil is recommended. If Mercury or Quicksilver outboard oil is not
available, substitute another brand of 2‑cycle outboard oil that is
NMMA Certified TC‑W3. Severe engine damage may result from
use of an inferior oil.
Fuel and Oil Ratio
MODELS WITH OIL INJECTION
Use a 50:1 (2%) gasoline/oil mixture in the first tank of fuel. Follow
the table below for mixing ratios. Use of this fuel mixture combined
with oil from the oil injection system will supply adequate lubrication
during engine break‑in.
After the break‑in fuel mixture is used up, it is no longer necessary
to add oil with the gasoline.
NOTE: At the end of the break‑in period, visually check to see if
the oil level in the oil injection system has dropped. Oil usage
indicates the oil injection system is functioning correctly.
