See full version: What is Fogging Oil
Its aerosol spray formulation offers easy and clean application while reaching more components and offering complete distribution of the oil, something especially beneficial in applications with horizontal cylinder orientation, such as outboard motors. Consult equipment owners manual for application directions.
Two- and four-stroke recreational vehicles, hand-held power equipment, small engines and construction equipment and farm equipment are commonly operated seasonally or infrequently, then stored for long periods of time.
Engine Fogging Oil applications include, but are not limited to, motorcycles, snowmobiles, ATVs, outboard motors, stern drive and inboard marine engines, personal watercraft, lawn equipment, chainsaws, snowblowers, portable generators, hand-held power equipment, motor scooters, powered farm equipment, powered construction equipment, cars and trucks.
Many experts recommend using a fogging oil before putting equipment into long-term storage. But what is fogging oil and what does it do?
Long periods of storage can also dry out cylinders, often resulting in permanent damage when the equipment is taken out of storage and dry-started.
Applied as an aerosol, fogging oil is designed to prevent rust and protect internal engine components during storage or long periods of inactivity. here
If you want a little more protection for the engine, you can also apply fogging oil to the cylinders behind the spark plugs. Just pull out every spark plug so you can spray the fogging oil onto each cylinder. Then put the spark plugs back. Now you can feel confident that your vehicle will be protected against corrosion once you store it, and you don’t have to worry about any engine components becoming damaged when you start up the vehicle again in the future.

The first step is to start the engine. Then take the air filter out and spray fogging oil into the air intake of every cylinder. You should start to see oily smoke—or fog—coming from the exhaust. That’s how you know it’s working. Keep the engine running for about ten seconds after you’ve sprayed the fogging oil, and then shut it off. here
Before you start learning how to use fogging oil, make sure you know the point of this product. Basically, when you store any type of vehicle, the lubricants that are in the engine slowly drain away. This leaves engine components dry, and they begin to corrode. Then when you start the engine for the first time in months, the dry cylinders, valves, and pistons get scuffed up and worn out quickly since they don’t have any lubrication between them. more
But when you apply fogging oil to all these engine parts, you’re essentially coating them in a layer of oil. As you might guess, pretty much any type of engine can benefit from this kind of protection. This means if you have a lawnmower, boat, RV, ATV, or classic car that you plan to store for a few months out of the year, fogging oil will help protect it. The only type of engine that can’t benefit from fogging oil is a diesel, as the oil would likely cause the engine to ignite. But if you have any other type of engine, you should learn how to use fogging oil for it. Luckily, the process is simple. more
If you have any type of vehicle that sits in storage for months at a time, you should look into using fogging oil if you want to protect the engine. This product offers a way to keep inactive engine components from becoming corroded over time. If you’re not familiar with this protective product, here are the basics on how to use fogging oil for everything from valuable classic cars to simple lawnmowers.
This page has advice on systems used to disinfect premises during the pandemic. It explains the legal requirements and provides the latest information, including joint advice from public health bodies on risks to health that can be created by using walk-through spraying or misting systems.
Locking rooms during the treatment will help to contain the emissions but other measures such as taping of doorway gaps or plastic screening off of some areas of the room may also be required. Good ventilation will also help clear the disinfectant after the treatment if this can be controlled from outside of the room. [links]
Some sources of UV light can only destroy micro-organisms where the light can fall on surfaces for a sufficient time – you should seek advice from your supplier.
I just happen to have my F225 manual here at my desk and under storage/fogging and it says "Just prior to turning off the engine quickly spray "Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil" alternately into the silencer cover. When properly done the engine will smoke excessively and almost stall"
It also says to remove all the plugs and spray fogging oil for 10 seconds directly into each cylinder, install the spark plugs, and then turn the engine over with the kill switch disconnected to work the fogging oil into the cylinders. [links]
