Hi Sandra,
I hope you didn't really put oil in the Honda outboard fuel tank.
The lubricating oil is in the closed crankcase, and most likely that
doesn't need filling or attention for a whole season.
The ONLY thing you put in the fuel tank of a 4 cycle HONDA outboard is
clean gasoline - not a drop of oil!
A Honda engine is a four cycle engine. The lubricating oil for the
engine is in the closed crankcase. The engine only requires gasoline to
operate. No gasoline / oil mixture.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A two cycle outboard engine is different.
It requires a mixture of gasoline and oil - the usual ratio is about 50:1
- and this fuel/oil mixture is what goes in the fuel tank. The oil is
mixed with the gasoline which then provides the necessary lubrication for
the two cycle engine.
Happy sailing
Connie
