Mix Ratios: Gasoline requires a 50:1 oil to
fuel mixture. 16oz per six (6) gallons or
about 2.5oz per every one (1) gallon.
Heavy Fuel requires a 12:1 Raider Elixir
mixture. One (1) can Raider Additive per
six (6) gallon of fuel. 64oz per six (6)
gallons or about 10.5oz per every one (1)
gallon of fuel in addition to the 50:1 oil to
fuel mixture.
When mixing fuel, pour the oil mixture into the bladder or tank first. If using Heavy Fuel add the elixir as
well. Then add fuel. Shake the tank to mix engine oil and gasoline well and even. Annotate the date of
the mixture. Fuel older than 90 days should be disposed of via required hazardous materials disposal
instruction for your organization.
The only lubrication provided for the Raider Outboard Motor is through the oil added to the gasoline,
therefor running with too little oil will cause engine damage. Oil burns differently than gasoline however,
and running too much oil will make the engine run poorly, smoke excessively, foul spark plugs, and will
even plug up the exhaust with oil residue. So, it is vital to both engine life and engine performance that
you run the right mixture.
Do not mix different brands of oil. Mixing different brands of oil, or different types of oil even if
the brand is the same, may cause gelling, resulting in possible filter screen blockage. This could
result in serious engine damage because of impaired lubrication performance.
Use of engine oils that do not meet certified NMMA TC-W3 2-Cycle motor Oil requirements will
result in reduced engine life, and other engine problems.
