burning 2 cycle mix gas in your truck?

[crosbyman]

with Stabil or likewise products it will burn ok in the lawn tools next year

been doing this for over 30 years with no complaints from the tractor, mower, blower and trimmer

The cat may or may not like the oil. But fuel injectors will hate it. I’d run it through the mower etc. If you decide to run it through your cars engine and it is injected, my shop hours are 8-5.

I run it thru my snow blower, lawn mower and weed eater…acts a little funky but it runs…

quote BillW:

Just to throw some proverbial gas in the fire here, today’s Mercruiser stern drives with fuel injection AND CATS call for a winterizing mix of fuel stabilizer, plus TWO QUARTS of TCW-3 oil, per six gallons of gas. That’s like 12:1, isn’t it? To me, this means the cats should be able to tolerate oil. They mostly don’t like misfire. I would bet a nickle that if you dilute with more straight gas, you’ll be alright…..However, have have not tried it myself.

Those cats are designed for it. Automotive cats are not.
Also, a winterizing mix meaning it’s going to be stored? Not run on regularly? Completely different scenario

This is why i have not put the fuel mix in my 4 cylinder fuel injected . I have other plans between 8 and 5. 😀

I knew, knew, KNEW I should have kept out of this one.

Long live American manufacturing!

Do it at about 1 gallon at a time to your truck tank when filling up, the 1 gallon at 50:1 added to a 15 gallon mix will dilute the total to 750:1 and as Tubs says if just regular outboard oil should be OK.

So those that run Synthetic mix… still ok?

If synthetics were a problem they wouldn’t be sold
to be used in motors with a converter.
Even though we are talking about 4 stroke motors
some oil passes through the converter. The amount
depends on the age and condition of the motor.
In older motors that use a considerable amount of
oil they still don’t smoke as the oil is burned up in
the converter. That what its there for. Now if you
get to the point where the converter is getting more
oil than it can process it could become blocked
but that would be way more than what your
thinking about adding. Some of the oil your adding
will be burned during combustion. What remains
will be burned up by the converter.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
