One tank probably will not kill it. But you should really research what you are doing before just throwing things into your gas tank.

I use Idemitsu Pre Mix but just about any 2 stroke should work.
3-4 ounces per full tank seem to do the trick for me.

Any JASO FC and above rated 2 stroke will be fine.

I wouldn't put any chemicals in my gas tank, only gas. It could harm my engine in the long run.

Guys the engine got fu*ked big time today ....it just stalled for no reason in the middle of a traffic jam ......

I think the dude at the pump put too much oil and little gas in it.

i had to use the trick with disabling the injector by holding the accelerator fully down for 10 secs

finally it started again , i got it filled up with gas within the second so the fu*king octane level in the tank could rise

Listen, from the get-go it seemed you had absolutely no idea about premix, so I urge you to stop, step away from the bottle, and take time to read this:

https://www.rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/gas-oil-premix-thread-99636/

I dont know about you, but I would pour the premix in myself before rolling to a pump if you are in an area where you are not allowed to pump your own gas.

Yeah, you had 4 times the most I would put in (1oz 2T/ 1 gal gas is what I put at most).

Now that its diluted it should'nt hurt anything; just use about 100 ml to 30 liters after you fill gas once more with no oil.

paimon i did read about premixing before i tried it but the ******* at the pump didnt listen to me , i told him 250ml and that ********** put it 600ml out of 700ml bottle

40w8 i filled up 25litres of high octane petrol so the mixture could get thinner.

that sucks man. Might be better to get one of those premeasured containers and split your premix up into the containers. Then they cant screw up . Like 40w said, shouldn't hurt anything, the 2 stroke is made to burn away so as you are diluting it it will all burn off. You might want to even go your next fill without any premix just to make sure that you are starting with a freshly measured mix.

NOBODY ever puts oil in my gas or engine (although I let the dealer fill the new 6spd auto with T-IV fluid).

Hint: buy at parts store where it might be cheaper, and always have some in the trunk.

Just pour 100 ml in first by yourself before gas on your second and future fillups.

That Shell Advance should be good stuff.
