Yesterday, while at the local Honda Marine picking up parts for the 40 hp Honda on our 16 Angler, Loon-a-C, I bought a three gallon Honda fuel tank for my 2-cycle kicker. When I got home, I noticed under the many Cautions on the tank, it said "Do not use fuel/oil mixture."
I have been putting fuel/oil mixtures in the red plastic fuel tanks and fuel cans since before Noah was in his boat, and never knew of any problem with a fuel/oil mix in these plastic tanks/cans.
Does anyone know why they have this caution? Is it just to cover their rears so that someone does not accidently use it on a four-stroke Honda (since it says Honda on the tank). Or maybe they think it screws up the fuel quantity indicator. Any thoughts?
