For 32-1 you get a 8oz can of lawn boy oil and add 2 gallon of gas to an
empty container. For a different mix Echo oil may come in a different oz
for a different mix. Or use the wifes measuring cup and follow
directions. Old gas goes in the car or boat, simple, dont make it hard.


......Nope......

Its not "old gas"--its simply too rich for the machine, due to engine
combustion temperature and pressures, also bearing design and material......

Why in the hell should I dump it into an engine having no need whatsoever
for lubrication within the fuel path ???

I have already paid a premium for that oil, in money and time, and it
actually adds negative value as fuel for the car.....the fact is, doing this
will make a four stroke motor more prone to detonation......

Now, ( conversely ) .....another thing always I do is add a little more oil
if the 2 cycle engine doesnt smoke a little bit--pretty close to what the OP
has been doing all along

A little smoke is a good thing......

Now "old gas" is what I dump into the diesel tractor, but that is a
different story altogether--and dont you even THINK about asking what it is
*I* do with old diesel....G.....
