Oil Injection Set-Up; Installing Remote Oil Tank - Mercury 150 EFI Service Manual

OUTBOARD MOTOR INSTALLATION

Oil Injection Set-Up

Be careful not to get dirt or other contamination in tanks, hoses or other compo-
nents of the oil injection system during installation.

Installing Remote Oil Tank

1. The remote oil tank should be installed in an area in the boat where there is access
for refilling.
The tank should be restrained to keep it from moving around, causing possible damage.
An acceptable means of restraining the tank would be the use of eye bolts and an elastic
retaining strap about the mid-section of the tank taking care that any metal hooks do not
puncture the tank.
Keep in mind, when installing in tight areas, that this tank will be under pressure when the
engine is operating and will expand slightly.
2. Oil hoses when routed thru engine well, must be able to extend to the hose fittings on
engine.
3. Oil hoses must be arranged so they cannot become pinched, kinked, sharply bent or
stretched during operation of the engine.
