[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 462997, member: 432"] If you are in doubt about the quality of fuel in your tank, drain it. It is not worth the risk to try and save it and do more damage to the motor and your wallet trying to save a couple of bucks. I would not be willing putting it into a car or truck either. Cars have catalytic converters on them that the oil mix will not work well with. If you want to save a couple of bucks and spend thousands on a new catalytic converter, go ahead and pour it into your car. If you are bound and determined to use the fuel I would suggest pouring it into a small older lawn mower that you can access the cab real easy so you can rebuild it without too much hassle. The mower may not even run on the fuel depending on the oil mixture in it. Be warned, some of these newer carbs on the small mowers are not able to be rebuilt. They are made of plastic and are molded together so you have no way to take them apart to get to the insides to clean them. [/QUOTE]
