We have a few gallons of gas that we can't remember if we added two stroke oil to. Is there an easy way to tell if we added gas to it? We're using amsoil 100:1 oil. The gas does not look blue but not sure if it would at that ratio
So in other words, just add some more at 100:1 to be on the safe side?At that level it only matters if you are putting it in a two stroke that needs the oil. It won't harm a four stroke. The earlier two stroke mixtures with more oil could foul stuff, but not the 100:1 ratio...

Good point, I forget about modern cars, I've been running exclusively diesel cars for decades - totally forgot about the catalytic converters they now all run. Use a lawn mower...Wouldn’t use it in a car that has a cat converter. Some of the additives will foul the converter. One dose won’t kill it but the damage is cumulative along with the normal stuff that is in gasoline that slowly kills the converter.
I've never used Amsoil, but with the oils I've used, the dye is very obvious even at 100:1.The gas does not look blue but not sure if it would at that ratio
When you bought your boat I thought it was customary to get rid of the lawnmower as it just becomes a distraction from sailing.Use a lawn mower...
The 4th is coming... Flash Burn?I wouldn't think twice about getting rid of it
I keep trying, but at this point the lawnmower is being used by my daughters boyfriend to keep the lawn I don't see often from becoming a hay field... Glad my daughter has good tastes in guys...When you bought your boat I though it was customary to get rid of the lawnmower as it just becomes a distraction from sailing.
I think that's overkill. Not only is this something OP only proposes to do once, but many older RX-7 owners routinely run two-stroke oil in their fuel, for years on end, without running into catalytic converter problems. What you say might be literally true, but it's very far from being a real-world-practical problem.Wouldn’t use it in a car that has a cat converter. Some of the additives will foul the converter.
