    Wrong gas in lawn mowers
    Hello, I put 2 stroke fuel mix in my rider and push mower. Is it possible to syphon it out and try again, or am I screwed and need to buy a new mower? Thanks for any advise.

    Have you ran it in the mower ?

    If you have not ran it, best to actually drain the tank, and rinse it with gas ( and a lot easier to do)

    Also if you ran it, you should be able to have the mower systems cleaned out.

    Burn it! Burn is burn. The small amount of oil in the fuel won't hurt a thing. Over prolonged use it may foul a plug but one tank won't make it cough.
