Merc 115

[AlK]

I have a 1995 115 Merc 2 stroke (oil injected)motor with a fuel/water seperator plumbed between the built in tank and the motor. Went to change the filter (fuel/water sperator) and noticed that the fuel coming out of the filter was not straight gas, but was green in colour, in other words it was mixed with oil. This does not seem right to me.

I haven't had the motor running yet this year, but it ran well last year.

Is there problem with the check valve in the primer bulb or some other problem?

No dude, that doesnt mean its mixed. They put die in Marine gas.

Thanks for the info, you may be right I will siphon some gas out and find out what it is in the fuel tank.
