Help
my wife just ran a tank of straight gas through a new , maybe 4 tanks of oil gas mix, a brand new Stihl $300 weedeater. It still runs. Of course its my fault that she did this.

two stroke on straght gas

Greetings and thanks for the reply,
It starts and runs well, whew! I was wondering if it might have scored the cylinder walls or some heat problem that might show up later. I hope there was enough oil left in the tank when she fueled it to keep it from siezing or doing permanent damage.
I run the recommended little bottle of oil to a two and a half gal tank of white gas (93)octane. I have run a stihl O28 av super chainsaw for 15 fifteen years with that mix and it still runs strong. Let success be your guide.
I just cant believe a college educated smart lady could make such an error. She has seen me do this mix at least a hundred times and the BLUE gas is Blue and the White gas is white.
WOMEN! I have never figured and never will. I just know they run the world and are ALWAYS RIGHT.Men are always wrong but the women like us and keep us around for their amusement. Sorry to ramble.
The weed eater is ok and so am I.
Thanks
TRACER

Greetings Brokenarrow,
I wish she had done that. I checked the fuel by dumping it out and it was white not that blue/ gray (nice southern color). Besides she actually likes to run the weedeater. When she doesnt my son will gladly do it for the extra cash.
She is the Boss and thats fine by me. Its a two way street. Thats the only way we could be together for 22years and married for 19. I did tell her to use the red can not the red plastic can. Like I said.. it was my fault but its the way it goes and in the grand scheme of things .. stuff happens.
