Last years mixed gas?

[mnmofro]

I still have some mixed gas in my gas can from last year for my auger, I used non oxy so would it be fine to use it up this year or what should I do with this gas? I was also wondering what the benefit of mixing the Ammsoil 100-1 instead of the 40 or 50 to 1 ratio? I mixed it at 45/1 last year and that seemed fine to me. This is a Strikemaster Solo engine if it makes a difference.

do not use last years gas. small motors don't work well with old gas. dump it, and refill with fresh gas.

Dump the gas in the truck and get some new stuff. The truck ent a 2 cyc and don't care!

dump it in your car and start fresh. theres so little oil in it when mixed with the gas in your tank that it will have no ill effect on your car engine

Thanks guys, i was wondering if it would make much difference if I put it in the truck....any opinions on the mixture ratio of the new gas? I plan to use the Saber again with non oxy gas.

I always mix about 40-1, and have had no problems. shy away from anyting over like 50-1 or 100-1, its best to be safe.

I run 80:1 or there abouts, thats about all the gas I use a season... SM has allowed a 50:1 mix for the solos now with synthetic, but know many running 70-100:1 without problems....

I use Amsoil in all my 2-strokes, and mix them 50:1. Have for years. I just don't trust 100:1.

A slightly different perspective here....I have been running non oxy gas in ice augers, earth auger, outboards, chainsaws, atv, snowmobile, mower, blower, generator, etc, etc, etc. for about 10 years now. I used to drain and start fresh each year or season, but since starting to add a small dose Seafoam to my gas, I have found that I do not have to do this anymore. Everything has been starting up and running trouble free and better than ever. Maybe luck, but I don't think so after almost of decade of trouble free small engine use. Before switching to non oxy and Seafoam I went though some frustration and a few rebuilt carburetors and fuel lines 10-20 years ago. Of course if you feel like draining and starting fresh - that will work as well - unless over time there is an issue of dryness affecting carb gaskets, lines etc. I am not a small engine expert -other than my own experiences with them over the last 35 + years or so.

Regarding 2 strokes, I have using Stihl oil in everything and mix at about 40:1 for all power equipment.
