Default Re: mariner remote oil tank jelled up

Usally when oil jells it is caused by a differant manufactures oil being added to the tank that is not compatable with it or some other contimnation, some oils will jell from freezing temps. but I have used Ouicksilver oil in snow sleds for years so I don't think that is the cause
