Re: VP Fogging mixture
This is from the latest service manual.<br /><br />In addition to stabilization of the fuel, it is highly desirable to have the<br />valves and cylinders coated with a light film of oil previously accomplished<br />through fogging. Todays fuel injection manifolds are designed<br />with a complex air channel design that will not allow the traditional fogging<br />oils to be injected past the throttle plate while running. The oil will get stuck in the plenum and never reach the cylinders. Together with<br />the stabilizer, two-cycle motor oil can be added to a fuel mixture for<br />stabilization purposes.<br /> Using an outboard motor six-gallon fuel tank, add two-cycle<br />motor oil at a ratio of 50:1 (one pint to 6 gallons) and stabilizer<br />at one ounce per gallon (unless stated otherwise on the manufacturers<br />label). Mix well.<br /> Disconnect boat fuel line at engine fuel pump. Attach the storage<br />mixture fuel tank.<br /> Connect a suitable engine flush device if the boat is not in the<br />water.<br /> Run the engine on the storage mixture for approximately 5 minutes<br />at 1500 RPM. This will ensure that all fuel system and<br />internal engine components are thoroughly protected. Do not<br />operate the engine above 1500 RPM as the water pump<br />demand may exceed the supply, damaging the pump.<br /> Reduce the engine speed to idle and stop the engine.<br /> Reconnect the fuel fitting and check for fuel leaks.
