Put more oil in because 20:1 isn't as bad as 0:1
Or put it all in your truck and start over |

Color.
Most two stroke oils are dyed and will tint the fuel that color. Edit: Even light gold will tint. Take a sample in a clear container like a glass jar. Hold it to a white piece of paper with light. |

Color and smell. I did have a color blind friend that I watched dip his finger in an atf puddle under a truck and taste it to see what it was. He also died too young though.

Shake it up and give it a good long sniff multiple times.
Seriously, you should be able to smell it or do the jar thing suggested above. |

Have an old push mower laying around? Run the gas out of it and put a bit in and see if the exhaust makes any smoke or smells like 2 stroke burning. Make sure to dump whatever is left after testing out and put some fresh gas through the mower.

Make a habit of adding your fuel additives to the can BEFORE filling it with fuel, which will also ensure more thorough mixing.

dip finger and rub together, feel oily?
Put a couple drops on a piece of paper, let the gas evaporate, is there dye/oil left on the paper? I like the lucas 2s oil that's blue. There's no question when it's mixed. |

Run it in your lawnmower for an hour. If you didn’t forget to mix you will be rewarded with a thick blue/white plume of indicator smoke

The lack of dye is actually the reason I switched from 927 to Formula K2. My kids have gotten to the age where they are allowed to ride without me home as long as Mom is outside with them. The lack of dye had me worried someone would make a mistake.
If you put a straight gas can next to the mixed gas you should be able to tell that the mixed gas is a little darker. Personally I don’t think it’s worth the risk to save yourself $15. I’d either dump it or use it in the lawn mower. |

If you are comfortable with judging color, do that. If not, just run it through your truck. If you already have 10 or more gallons in it, it will be really reduced. I have done it a few times with last years boat gas. Never had it show a code or anything.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not sure the bike would stay running very long at 20:1 without fouling the hell out of the plug. Changing the plug is a lot cheaper than locking up the motor. From a cost standpoint, if in doubt I'd add more oil or just dump the gas and get new. The price of 5 gal of gas is nothing compared to rebuilding the motor. |

I would probably avoid running 2 stroke mix through a modern vehicle. If it doesn't have a cat or 02 sensors I wouldn't be concerned.

The color will tell you but I’ll tell you the same thing I always tell my boys; always put your oil in first, then fill up the can.

Put in more oil. If it won't run in your bike because it is double oil, them just add more gas.

In one case, the gas-oil mix is correct; in the other, the gas-oil mixture will be 2x, but as already said 20:1 gas:oil beats 20:0. |

I always leave some gas in my outboard tank,
then put in the correct amount of oil for the gallons I'm going to buy and shake it around. Then go to the gas station. Am I doing it wrong?

How much do you think the fine is if you get caught dumping gasoline in a storm drain? Beyond that, do you ever fish? Because someone downstream of you does and they probably eat the fish. Far far better to run that gas in a riding lawnmower or use it to burn leaves or brush then to contaminate the waterways with it. |

You have the sense of humor of a grapefruit. Taking the lid off a gas can and smelling it enough to see if it has 2-stroke oil in it isn’t going to give you cancer. You shouldn’t even have to hold it up to your nose. Put your mask back on, Karen. |
