    Mine went in the forklift last time. I hope I get it burned up before winter, when it will be used inside.

    Do it all the time; weedeater, back pack blower, hedge trimmer, you name it. LOL years ago when I ran out of gas in my truck on a mountain in the middle of no where I was given a couple of gallons of 2-stroke gas to get me going.

    Same here. I'll even throw a little of my buddies smoke juice in the 4T in a pinch. Lubes the top end a little...

    my TW200 hated premix :D Did not want to rev like it had a plugged main. Other than that seems to run fine in everything including my F150.

    If I forget if it is mixed or if it is to old, it just goes in the truck.

    Same here. If it's a two cycle engine it's getting the fuel, or really huge bonfires in the deZ.

    Pre-mix stays fresh much longer than just straight gas-save it for your next ride!

    I put it wherever it will get diluted the most, which is usually the motorhome or the truck.
