Ring Free via Fuel Water Seperator. Good Idea?

[patrolcarr]

I have a 130 Yamaha 2 stroke with about 350 hours on it. I didnt use Ring Free for the first 250 hours, but have been using it religously this season. Should I shock treat the engine? When is "Shocking" it called for? Does 250 hours require shock doses of Ring Free? If I do shock it, is using the fuel/water seperator as a means of delivery a good idea? Too strong? The engine is running fine, and there are no problems but I would like to keep it that way. Any feedback is appreciated. Pat

hello<br /> I would not shock it but I would use the spray decarb as per instructions once per year. carbon isnt quite the demon its made out to be. you dont want to suddenly break large chunks loose. good luck and keep posting

If you do use ring free in its normal dose (1oz per 10 gal) it will go just fine throught the fuel-water separator. I don't know exactly how those things work but if it's by weight, water is MUCH heavier than any hydrocarbon compound (unfortunately that includes ethanol/MBTE)
