    Just burn off as much of the 2-stroke fuel as you can and stop putting that shit in your tank.

    You probably don't need to clean or replace anything, after a tank or two of proper fuel everything should be fine again. It's possible you could damage the catalytic converters, but I doubt a tank or two of pre-mix fuel would do that.

    Lol nope. I mean I'm gonna google it but feel free to enlighten me in the mean time. Context clues tell me it's a blend specifically for 2 stroke motors but can't say I've ever heard of that. If I had a 2 stroke motor in front of me I would have assumed it took same gas as my truck.

    Just another thought... Why would you have 10 gallons of "Clean" 2-stroke laying around? Unless you ride 2-stroke bikes?

    A better way to describe this is premix gas, and I can tell you I have done this before. The reason was to get rid of some that I had laying around after winterizing my boat. I put about 3 gallons of premix (in my case 40:1) on top of about a half a tank because I was told that it wouldn't hurt my truck and that is a good way to get rid of it. We have hard water about 4 or 5 months a year so I didn't want my boat gas to go old over the winter. Amazingly the negative effects were immediate! I don't know how but it took longer to crank the motor over, and when it finally caught it chugged and ran hard and the check engine light came on immediately. The truck ran like shit until the next tank of gas and the check engine light didn't go away for about 3 whole tanks of gas. I think this is a no no for modern engines, so I don't do it anymore.

    That would be a dangerous and ill-founded assumption sir. And I’m still waiting for the “why” in this whole thing. Why would someone apparently foul his engine deliberately?

    They make stabilizer that will keep the gas for a long time.

    Yep, definitely watch what information you trust out of people.

    Well I guess that answers my next question. 100% gas in a 2 stroke motor is not good. Is this true across the board for 2 stroke motors or is it only certain ones?

    All 2 strokes require an oil mixture. Newer 2 stroke motors have separate tanks; one for oil and one for gas. They mix the oil and gas themselves. You see this larger motors like marine and motorcycle motors. Small motors like chainsaws and weed whackers will require the fuel to be pre mixed.
