Does anyone know where to find the Mercrury video showing the procedure for fogging EFI egines. I remember a 5 gallon gas can mixed with 2 stroke oil which is then connected to the fuel line just before the water separator. Thanks in advance.

Last winter Mercury released a video of using a 5 gallon gas can mixed with 2 stroke oil. Unhooking the fuel line and connecting the one from the can looks easier to me than even removing a filter. I was only interested in the mixing ratio and type of oil best for mercury racing engines-nothing else.

Found these on another site, use at your own risk:
"Personally, I do it exactly as the mercruiser manual states. I have set up two remote tanks (to be used year after year after year...) Mix 5 gallons of regular fuel, 2 quarts of Premium 2 cycle outboard oil, and 5 ounces of fuel stabilizer. I use two 3 gallon tanks, so make the appropriate adjustments.
After allowing the engine(s) to cool, disconnect the fuel fitting and attach the remote tanks. I found a brass plug to cap the fuel lines coming from the tank, but I can't remember the size at the moment.
Allow the engines to run for 5 minutes at 1300 RPM and you're done. What gas remains ends up being used in my tractor (fogging it), weed eater and snow blower.
Disclaimer: I have the cool fuel generation III, which does not have a spin on filter. On other engines, I have used the add oil to the spin-on filter trick with no problems, although I sometimes wonder if that method allows enough oil into the cylinders to adequately protect them. (after all, the mercury method has you run the engine for 5 minutes.) On the other hand, if you add too much oil to the filter, you risk trashing your spark plugs."
"1) Shut off the fuel line
2) Take off the fuel filter and dump a little gas out
3) Add 2 oz. of two cycle outboard oil
4) Reinstall fuel filter and run engine at idle speed until it quits
5) Take off old filter and replace with a new filter.

After seeing a thread about the ethanol and corrosion in the fuel system I'm thinking that this is a good thing I've been doing this for years.
