nickxc Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 we have about 12 gallons of gas mixed for the boat from summer and it isnt good quality oil so I wont run it in my shee. It is just gunna go to waist and with gas prices today thats about $28 in gas so I am thinking of dumping it into my ranger. what ya think???? will it foul my plugs or will if just run through and not hurt a thing???? pic of the truck (my daily driver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledofthezep Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Looks like a little oil in the gas wouldn't be such a bad deal for that hoss. Probably won't hurt it, will smoke though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did take a little drink when I was crossing the tamarack river on the way into camp the other day. so maybe the oil will do it some good. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheatchex Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Just add it a little at a time(3-4 gallons) and not dump the whole thing in. Mixing it this way will dilute the oil in the tank enough that you shouldn't have any problems. If it's leaded gas don't put it in. Use it in the banshee instead.

jeffro189 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 run it, it will be fine, you might want to mix alitle more straight gas with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr74 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Yep, I use my left over premix in the truck all the time. Just add a few gallons per tank and you will be fine. I've never even noticed any smoking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 If the ranger has a cataletic converter the oil will plug it up pretty quick unless you dilute the hell out of the fuel when you put it in your truck. I would only put in about 2 or 3 gallons at a time when you fill your tank and dont add any more untill that tank is empty, or every other time you fill up.

PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Don't do it. It'll blow up and you'll die. Kiddn' It'll be fine but if your worried about it do as the others said and lean it out with more gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickxc Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 dont think anything could hurt that big beast!!! She looks like a trooper! you got that right my friend. I got more miles per dollar out of that truck than I have any other vehicle I have had and prolly any that Iwill ever have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I used to run the rest of my race fuel through either my ZX-7R or the truck.... didn't hurt a damned thing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nater006 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Ya might get a lil extra smoke, almost like the Valve Seal Special, but.. it shouldn't really hurt it! My dad's '84 S10 still runs like a champ. Only problems were the 4WD system. Otherwise the 2.8 in it has been a trooper too. And like.. 1/2 of its mileage is offroad, doing farm work.. some trucks just last! Hopefully my '96 S10 does too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudSlinger09 Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 eh , just dump the gas and oil down the sink or go dump it in a creek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
