Thanks again fitz for your feedback and info. I agree that keeping the tank more than half way full of oil will be the way to go. My calculations come up with aprox 36 gallons of gas for a full tank of oil - I only have 12 gallon capacity so I think I'll be safe.

Also good to hear your thought that
I have 5 active Mercs ... the 1998 60 hp is the best of the bunch, it's just bullet proof.


I do have an unrelated follow-up question... I have a Sakonnet - do you have any thoughts on mpg and/or range with 12 gallons of fuel?
