Stupid question of the day: After the gas/oil mix is in the bottle, would it be ok to leave the mix in there until I use it all? Basically, could I leave the mix in there for, say, a month?

You don't want to mix the fuel & oil in this container. This is for measuring the oil only. I use a small one gallon can to do the actual mixing & storing. Be sure to stabilize your fuel for storage!!!! Ethanol will cause the oil to separate for gas & blow your 2 stroke engine. Use Star-tron for short term stabilization. Also shake stored fuel before using to re-mix oil.

You don't mix the gas & oil in the bottle. What you do is measure the oil in the bottle and then pour it into a gas can. This bottle just helps you calculate how much oil to use per gallon of gas.

No, you don't mix the oil and gas in the bottle.. The bottle is used only to MEASURE the amount of oil you need to add to the amount of gas that you put into the boat or whatever 2 cycle motor you are using.. If you are going to add oil to 5 gallons of gas, you use the jar and put in the 2 cycle oil up to the MARK that says 5 gallons. There are a few different scales on the bottle... for a boat, I use 50 to 1 scale.. If you plan on leaving gas sitting for a while, you should use stabilizer.

I mix in gas after i put in the correct amount of oil so i can get %100 of the oil out of the container. I have had small amounts of gas and oil mix in the bottom on several occasions for weeks and weeks with no ill effect. Having said that I would not store gas in the container as it is not approved for it; but would it kill it? I highly doubt it.

I would think so, if it wont melt it after a minute probably wont after a month :)

I prefer to add it a few hundred miles before the next oil change, because as it cleans the gunk out of the engine, the filter removes the gunk and the filter becomes full. If you use with fresh oil change, you will need to change the filter after a few hundred mile, to insure your filter system works correctly. You can add it to your gas any time, preferably often to keep your upper end lubricated and the fuel system, including injectors, clean. Excellent product from my experience.

I recommend using about 1/2 ounce...which is a slight bit more than required. Doubling the dosage does not seem to show results sufficient to justify the practice.We often load several 6 gal containers, if the gas price is down a bit, and store them for a while...finally using them when the current price is sufficiently higher. I put less than 1/2 ounce in each. The gas is ready to go, even after a couple of months!

I dispose of the oil once a month and clean it out then put in new oil. To keep the oil fresher during the month, I deep fry a small potato before frying other foods. The potato must be slit first. This takes the flavor of other foods out of the oil, like if you cook fish and want to cook chicken next. I would not keep the oil longer than a month especially in the summer.

The simple rule on any oil or grease product, if it has an unusual odor don't use it. Store in a cool dry place and it lasts a very long time, better yet if the refrigerator.

I believe they put oil in it to test run it. After that they usually drain it. Then ship it out. I had to fill mine, however you can still see the residue left. If u had a full tank, they probably forgot to drain, but make sure you check the level.

It is recommend in the instructions on the bottle to refrigerate after opening. I keep my oil in a cool, but not cold place. I have use this oil in essential oil blends and prefer that all the oils being blended be at the same temperature. I have also use it in recipes without any problems.

I would suggest an e-mail directly to the company. The woman who runs the company is very proud of her product and service. Consequently, I'm sure she will give you all of he help she can. I have used one bottle over about 2 months and it has been just fine--but I've also followed their instructions and have kept the oil in a cool spot in the house--Not hard in Mt!. I've been extremely satisfied with the product, both in terms of quality and price and in fact have recently ordered 2 more bottles.

hey John,I have been using this stuff for a while now. I haven';t had gas longer than 3 months in a container and it works fine. the label states that it keep fuel fresh for up to 1 year however I assume it;s the conditions that you keep the gas in.If you have the gas in crazy conditions( hot or cold) i doubt the gas will make it to a year. i would say 6 months is a safe bet.

Think about a panof used oil sitting on the stove after you have used it. Same thing, not convenient for me to refigerate. It is suggested you keep oil in airtight container, I have covered with saran wrap when Iknew I would be using again in a couple days. Usually just pour it back in the bottle can be used 6-9 times before I toss it.

I'm not a professional but I have used already mixed product a second time, BUT it was refrigerated after mixing until the time of use. If it has been sitting out since the time it was originally mixed, I don't know if it is still good to use.

There is a built in measure on the bottle that is supposed to be good enough to stabilize 5-8 gallons. That will keep the gas stable for one year. You are then supposed to RE-treat the gas in subsequent years for up to a total of 5 years. They say on the bottle that if you add extra, it will not negatively impact the gas, but then you will run out of the Pri-G faster. Methinks it is best to use it as recommended on the bottle.

Oil can go rancid. Smell the oil before you use it, if it smells good then its good to use, if not discard and buy a new bottle.

Gas is probably still good. I would run the gas out, add new gas then add PRI-G if you plan further storage.

I think a plastic spray bottle would clog very easily. Plus, the plastic would leach into the oil and start to break down. I think a lot of people use these things around heat. I like that at least part of it wasn't made in China...

No, you do not have to remove the oil between uses, I leave it in there indefinitely, and continue to fill it as needed

I've always added just after I pour the last of my new oil into the engine. Not saying this is best or only way however as long as you get this product into the engine is what matters. It will take a couple hundred miles before it will fully affect anything.
