Used Mixed Gasoline( Gas & Oil) on Lawn Mower...what do I do?
Okay, I accidently poured the mixed gasoline and oil combo (used for weed eaters) into the lawn mowers gasoline tank. The lawn mower already had half a tank of good gasoline. The mower ran fine but did not know I did this unti lafter the fact later in the day. What should I do?? Please help. If I have to drain the gas...how should this be done.
Thanks.
Thanks.

If it's running fine I would let it go. As far as I know a little extra lubrication won't hurt any.

Fill it back up with regular gas to help dilute it. Also try to shake the mower to agitate the gas before you use it next. When you pick up a weedeater or blower, by the time you start it you've already agitated it somewhat, you won't get that with a mower. You want to keep the oil and gas mixed up.

Don't tell my lawnmower or it will want some oil too.
Just dilute it down. That oil was meant to burn in an internal combustion engine. No problem.
