Riding Season is here, did I mix this gas last year?

[Shonuff]

How can I tell if I've already mixed my gas with Benol?

Stick some in the leaf blower and wait for the Benol smell?

I prefer the pitbike but leaf blower works too. I never burn last years gas in my ski.

 

[Idok]

put it in the car and mix fresh.........

I have always read that your fuel will lose octane over time, especially if exposed to UV light. I wouldn't use it in any high compression ski.

If the gas is more than 4 weeks old, it goes in my truck.

I can tell mine's mixed if it's red. I use Amsoil Dominator. :biggrin:

I have gas I mixed last month I won't use in my ski, a stock one maybe, but not my ski! Use it in something else

 

[Shonuff]

Crap. It's ten gallons of Av gas.

^^^^oh ! i would just toss it in the leaf blower or lawn mower if. i love my 2stroke mower....tons of brap...lol:brap:

Avation gas is a different story, theres no ethinol or anything like that to break down in the gas. I work in an engine shop, antique cars, and put av gas in all my stuff thats going to sit over the winter because it doesnt break down or clog carbs. You should be more then fine. Thats just my 2cents. (i rebuild mechanical fuel pumps all day long, 90% of the time the ethanol in the gas is what causes them to fail or clogs carbs.)

Always put your oil in first. That way there is never any confusion! If you go and buy your gas and them plan on mixing it with pump gas, get a blue can for the straight AV Gas.

if for a kawi,does it really matter?:laugh2:
you should be able to feel it on your fingers.

You guys put oil mixed gas in your trucks?

 

[DezKnotz]

:buttkick: show dont worrie about it you ride a kawie who cares lol

 

[Speedlaw]

Put Sta-bil in the gas at the end of the season. It preserves the gas and keeps some of the ethanol badness at bay. It is at all auto parts stores, one oz to two gallons or so.

You bet.

Doesn't screw them up? Are we talking a fuel injected motor? I'm clueless here but that seems scary to me. I have a 2005 silverado. I can just see the motor smoking like crazy and blowing up or something and having to tell the dealorship that I ran premix in it . That's when they look at me like I'm stupid.

usually I end run my ski almost dry last day of the season so I don't have any leftover. This year I have about 5gallons I pulled out of the Ski and I'm not really sure what to do with it. I am nervous to put it in my car and I don't have a junker. Right now I just have it sitting around. I might have to have a couple bon fires and use it to start/.

Its probably hard on the cats and o2 sensors but doubt it hurts the injection.
