Right, there are too many variables right now. What I
have done is filled the rest of the tank (1/2 empty)

with a clean plate. What I was wondering up front was
whether I was going to get

Mitch,
This brings me to another dumb question: where does
the water come from?
Fuel - could install a water seperator
crankcase oil - if you have no cracks allowing coolant
into engine, how does water get in the oil?
toilet paper filter - now I thought THAT was a joke.
How does it work? Is

In the crankcase, a little from condensation, and a little from combustion.
HxCx + O2 - H2O + CO2 + heat.
Toilet paper filtering:

Water gets into the fuel tank through condensation. Even works in a 55
gallon drum.
A fine set up may involve a homogenization tank where feed stock is
heated and blended, then you run it through a filtration medium, such
as the TP filter into a storage container. From there run it through
Given that I am due for a Mobil 1 oil change (probably tomorrow) I got
to thinking. Would there be any danger in just pouring the five quarts
or so of used motor oil into the fuel tank? All five quarts into a
twenty gallon tank might be a bit much, but what about a quart at a
time over five tank
We had a list member in Hawaii as while back who was doing just that
(1 qt./tank) due in part to the lack of suitable oil disposal options
on the island.

FOUR QUARTS in a few minutes? Wow, that must have been some show.
I floored it to merge, and suddenly a cloud appeared in the mirror.
A big cloud.
Fortunately, there was another ramp within 1/2 mile, so I coasted off,
stopped, threw in my two spare quarts, drove to an
The problem is the ash from burning it could possibly damage the valve seats.
I would not burn much at a time. A quart a tank maybe. Adding a quart of 2
cycle oil would be better for engine lubrication and it has no ash when
burned. -Dan

Ok, I won't. I will turn it in for recycling (which means that my
