Fuel

•   Mix a ratio of gasoline to oil of 20:1 for break-in and 

continuous operation on all engines. 

•   A mixture of high-quality 91 octane unleaded 

gasoline and a reliable, high-quality 100% synthetic 

oil for 2-cycle engines must be used. We recommend 

Evolution Oil (EVOX1001Q).

With the use of an oil mixture of 20:1, it is normal to 

see a slight amount of carbon buildup on the exhaust 

valve itself. This is why it is important that you use a 

high-quality synthetic oil instead of standard 2-stroke 

oil you may be using in your 2-stroke gas engine. 

Although these 2-stroke oils work well in their intended 

applications, they can cause a build up of a gummy 

residue on the exhaust valve in a 4-stroke gas engine. 

This may require service for your engine if the exhaust 

valve begins to stick and not seal properly. 
The high-quality Evolution oil we recommend will still 

build up a slight amount of carbon, but we have found 

that this build up is easily flaked off during normal 

operation of the engine. It will not create the typical 

gummy build up.

•   Remember to use caution in the storage, use and 

transport of gasoline.

•   Since commercial gasoline has many impurities, 

please be sure to use a reliable fuel filter (SAI50109 

or HAN143) in your fuel system. 

•  The recommended fuel tubing is Evolution

®

 Gasoline 

Fuel Tubing (EVOA102). DO NOT use a silicone 

rubber fuel line for the engine, the fuel tank, or your 

fueling system. 

•   The use of fuel with up to 10% ethanol has been 

tested and found to work fine.

•  The use of a filtered clunk or sintered clunk on the 

fuel pick up line is required. The Evolution In-tank 

Felt Filter/Clunk (EVOA106) is designed specifically 

for gas engine operation.

Be sure to include a reliable fuel filter in 

your fuel system. The drawing to the left 

suggests the use of a fuel feed line and 

an air intake line. Also, be sure to use a 

fuel line that is compatible with gasoline.
