Okay so i fillled up a 6gallon jug with premium for my lawn mower and for my car.
When i get home i set it in my garage on my trailer.
Long story short i put the gas used for my honda pilot. 32-1 premix into my car.
Any bad side effects of this?
Its high octane with a little race gas in it mixed 32-1 with 2stroke hp2 racing oil.
I know the race gas wont hurt anything but im afraid of the oil like clogging my injectors or fouling a plug.

How bad is this?
I think i should paint my gas jugs diffrent colors.

Well i was in a hurry and ran downstairs and grabbed my gas jug.. I have two they are both 6gallon and both red.... completly identical.
I just grabbed the wrong one.
I only know this becuase when i got home i noticed the gas in my pilot gas tank which was also on the trailer was clear. The oil turns the gas into a kind of dark red. Noticable from the outsie of the tank. This one looked clear. So i looked inside and sure enough i used the wrong one.
The only damage i think it might cause is maybe the O2 sensor? or the catylic converter.
Other than that i think the engine might like the extra lubrication.
HA HA!

It ran fine.
even when i boosted it up to 18 at wot.

Used to run pre-mix in our RX-7. Using castor bean oil, it loved the extra lubrication. We would bury the tach, all the time!!! I do know that premix will contaminate an O2 sensor quickly and clog a cat pretty quickly.

unhook the pressure fuel line and extend to a bucket. jumper the fuel pump relay to run the fuel pump till its empty. drain tank. add correct gas. run the car gently for the next tank. id hate to see high boost on a lowered octane fuel due to the oil in it. good luck

I ran the tank dry.
DIdnt hurt anything.
The car actually gained a little power.
I dont think 2stroke oil lowers octane but evn if it did i still had at least 100octane. The one gallon of race gas had something like 112.

It did smoke a littlebit when i started it up but then disapeared.
Now it stoped smoking completely.

O well.
I pulled my plugs and they were all golden brown. and not wet so it really didnt do anything to my car other than give it a little extra lube.
But it still could have killed the O2 sensor so im lucky for that.
