    quote BillW:

    Just to throw some proverbial gas in the fire here, today’s Mercruiser stern drives with fuel injection AND CATS call for a winterizing mix of fuel stabilizer, plus TWO QUARTS of TCW-3 oil, per six gallons of gas. That’s like 12:1, isn’t it? To me, this means the cats should be able to tolerate oil. They mostly don’t like misfire. I would bet a nickle that if you dilute with more straight gas, you’ll be alright…..However, have have not tried it myself.


    Those cats are designed for it. Automotive cats are not.
    Also, a winterizing mix meaning it’s going to be stored? Not run on regularly? Completely different scenario

    I knew, knew, KNEW I should have kept out of this one.

    Long live American manufacturing!
