[Closed] Putting 5ltrs of 50:1 mixed fuel in a car

"Probably" it's OK - but only probably and the cost of repairing any damage is so high for such a small gain that I wouldn't.

Probably what he said, just keep it for cleaning chains or something.

A modern car might not like it, but an old one should be fine , if a little smoky. What is it?

If its really old then it'll have turned into something resembling turps by now.

good excuse to get a MX bike

If it's been sat for years it's probably expired anyway, petrol has a shelf life of about two years IIRC.

done it several times with my rx8

but not with anything older than 6 months. the petrols knackered

Just stick a litre in every time you fill the tank. It won't do any harm at all.

As I thought, not worth it. Fuel mix is 12 -18 months old.

Wasn't thinking of a gain - just to get rid in a useful way.

Maybe I'll use it for chains and the like or the summer BBQ 😉

Fill a bucket with sand. Pour petrol into sand filled bucket. Light.

If mixed with one shot of oil then its only 100ml of oil diluted, im ultra accurate mixing for a stihl saw that never misses a beat and often use that petrol if im runnin g short on a 4 stroke, looking forward to hearing what damage im doing to the 4 strokes other than maybe a wee bit gum on the carburettor , the Stihl gets treated like royalty by the way

Give the shed a declutter and buuuuurrnnnn it all. Much more fun

do it all the time.. not an issue.. use everything from used car oil to top spec 2st oil in my premix makes no difference.. get it in safest way to dispose of it.. no good for cleaning chains etc as all it does is evaporate and leave the cack still on it.. use diesel for cleaning.. loverly jubbly
