[Shotimes] Oil in the gas tank

[Zach Leahy]

I agree on the solution, just fill the tank all the way up and run it
out.  The gas and oil will mix together and it will burn off.  I have
run 2cycle mixed fuel (for racing go-karts - 107 octane baby!) through
the 93 before.  It won't hurt anything as long as it's diluted.  i
doubt it will stick in the fuel filter either since it will mix well
with gasoline.

What you do from there is up to you.
