Last year's gas
I still have mixed gas left over from last year - what do you usually do with it?

Re: Last year's gas
Why not dump it in your car, and get some fresh stuff for this summer?
As long as it isn't 25 gallons.  Take care, Daren

Re: Last year's gas
I would just blend in small amounts with a freshly mixed batch....say a 1/2 gallon of the old stuff with a couple gallons of fresh mix. If you stored the mixed gas in a proper container out of direct sunlight there is nothing wrong with it after that short of a period.

Re: Last year's gas
Very good question John.
I was under the understanding that 2 strock mix has a fuel stabilizer additive . Now this is years ago, with dino oil. Therefore I ussually added some 2 stroke mix to the different 4 strock's around the acreage when out of season. Quads, boat. Lawn tractor, etc. I never had any carb issues. Richard, that is about what happens around here. Arlene is never out of grass whip mix. Hope this helps. -Dale- 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Re: Last year's gas
John, you really got me thinking now.
Another good use for it, if it applies. Consume it all up as a break-in fuel. Always nice to aquire another gasser each year. I'm of the beleif, that you can not run to much fuel through a new engine before it's first flight. -Dale- 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Re: Last year's gas
I usualy only have four liters at a time mixed one day of flying lol. Dale keeps it fresh with all the flying we do. But if its actualy been a couple months its only 4$ so I get rid of it and get fresh stuff.
