EQUIREMENTS
Gasoline is the primary and preferred
fuel to be used when operating the
Raider 40 HP. Use a major brand of
automotive unleaded gasoline with a
minimum posted octane rating of 91
RON. Automotive gasoline that contains
fuel injector cleaner are preferred for
added internal engine cleanliness.
Leaded gasoline is acceptable in areas
where unleaded gasoline is not available.
When required, Heavy Fuels like JP-5/8;
kerosene; Diesel maybe used.
Regardless of what fuel is utilized, the fuel
must be mixed with a certified NMMA TC-
W3 2-Cycle motor Oil. Raider Outboards
provides a specially formulated TC-W3
developed by VP Racing. The Raider
Outboards TC-W3 2-Cycle Outboard
Synthetic Marine Oil is specifically
designed to meet the lubrication
requirements of a submersible engine.
Use of low-quality gasoline results in a short engine life as well as starting difficulties and other
engine problems. We recommend use for Fuel stabilizer.
Use of gasoline containing alcohol can cause engine starting and/or operating difficulties, wear of
and damages to engine parts, and deterioration of chemical parts, which may lead to shortening
of your outboard motor’s life.
