This really seems like a stupid question, but it is really difficult to put injector oil into my son's Blaster Oil Injection Bottle. There is a piece of foam inside the bottle that prevents me from pouring the oil in at anything more than a dribble. It takes forever to fill! If I pour too quickly, it overflows and makes a mess!

I am sure the foam is in the bottle to prevent "sloshing" and "foaming" of the oil. However, is there something else that can be done? This foam really restricts the rate of oil you can pour into it.

And before it is suggested, I am not yet willing to remove the automatic oil injection system. For those times that my son fuel's his Blaster, I don't want to take a chance of him fueling it with gas that isn't pre-mixed. I am confident the odds of this happening are much higher than injection failure (you gotta have kids to understand!).

Thanks!

 

Its just patience. On my old blaster I use to have when I refilled the oil it would take a little while but not to long. Just pour some in, let it sink in, then continue. Thats all.

 

Yeah that stupid foam, make a mess every time... Im sure you could take the foam out but it would slosh around and the cap has a little hole in it so it would probally make more of a mess with the foam out?
There is nothing wrong with leaving the oil-inj. hitched up, I had an 89 that went through h#ll and back and still stock w/inj hitched up and ran great. Unless you are racing or something there really is no reason to take it off, its also pretty convienent to pull up to the pumps without messing around with a bunch of stuff, you are more likley to blow it up mixing the gas wrong than having the oil injection fail.
They should replace the plastic gear with a metal one and then people wouldnt worry as much.

 

you can take the censor out and put it into there, its not hard and it works fine, that what i did

 

I had the same problem when I first got my blaster. I would buy the gallon jugs of yamalube and it would spill it everywhere. My fix. I went to K-mart and bought a twist cap that fits on the gallon jug. Twist it open and fill, when the rezzy gets too full just simply turn it closed and back open after the level goes down. Or you can adjust it to a certain point where it will be steady flow. Cost less than $2.00 And saves the big mess and loss of spilt oil.

 

When I had the injector on my blaster it didn't have any foam in it and the oil didn't foam or slosh around too much. The oil that got through the vent in the cap was too small to make a mess as long as you wiped it up every so often.
