For some reason my oil tank (separate oil and fuel tanks) has filled up with fuel - any ideas(no i havent filled the wrong one).

Thanks

I'm no expert but. I understand some outboards rely on a vacuum to feed oil to the mix. Check your lines for leaks & that the hoses are connected correctly. It might somehow be sucking fuel back intothe oil tank.
Ring a MARINE specialist.

Do not run it it probably will not get any oil into the vro and seaze . oil tank needs cleaning out and reprimed the oil system Take it to a good outboard service man
How long have you had it !

I'd look at disconnecting it & running premix.

+1 a lot easier and chuck some moreys upper cylinder lube in at same time (does not replace 2 stroke oil) 30 mls to a tote tank
