Avgas Oil Mix

Fri Oct 19, 2007 7:08 pm » Post: #1 » Download Post

After the last trackday, I poured about 12litre of pre mix outta the tank in to storage. It's a mix of Avgas (100LL) and Castrol A747.

How long does this last.....I have a feeling that once mixed is it disposable after a day or so. Is this correct?

Can it be flushed down the toilet? (Joke....it's a joke!)

It best to use it asap. But I have gone and used some left over from the previous month.

I wouldn't go more then a month or so in an open container. I really wouldn't go for a year and try to re-use it.

If you can't use it, pour it in the car. Thats what I do every spring, when I find some left overs from last year.

I was planning one last track day next month, but family business looks paid to that Sad

I'm not sure my car would love a good does of 2-T oil, but hey-ho shame to see it go to waste, not to mention I'm not quite sure where to dispose of it correctly.

Could try selling it on ebay........£3 P+P??

I use it in my lawn mower, and other lawn care equipment. Nothing like the smell of 2-stroke (pre-mix) while doing manual labor Smile

Racer 38 you silly little boy..... 1 month, 1 day, 1 year! It don't matter. Pour it in and let her rip! I usually will dump some in the car as long as it already has fuel in it. If its less than 3 months old, I'll cut it with bout 2:1 of fresh fuel/oil vs. the old sh*t. And then I'll top of the tank by wizzing in it! nice pics of Llandow. Lookin' da bizness!

Don't be penny wise and pound foolish. Don't put it in your car. Catalytic converters don't like the stuff. A month is a long time. You might mix it with fresh premix in small portions, but to be safe, just toss it.

My 2 cents,

Joel

Well it seems a shame to let it go to waste......could be just the reason I'm looking for to get the thing road registered and insured. That way I can use up any spare gas/oil I have doing laps of my street!

Do get back to us if you succeed with the road registering.
