Can you use 2 cycle Gasoline in a V6 Ford Truck ?

I normally get 60 miles on the "Low Fuel" indicator on my truck.

But not this time !

went Low Fuel about 10 miles ago and now it's literally low on fuel.

To get the 3 miles to the gas station, it might help if I add the 3 cups of fuel in the leaf blower gas can, and in the leaf blower itself.

There's a cup in the bottom of the gas can, so 4 cups, 2 pints, 1 quart.

should be good for a few miles.


so like it doesn't damage it or make it blow up or anything does it ?

It's just a little extra oil. Maybe it'll run better ?


It's 2 cycle gasoline, regular 87 octane (which i guess these days is 10% veggie fuel ?), mixed about 1 ounce of oil for every 25 ounces of fuel.

So very similar to 87 gasoline, just has that small amount of that blue looking 2 cycle oil.

add it in before you run out so it will dilute it a little. Fill up when you get to the station. I would do it if it was mine.

I had earlier filled up some gas cans when the oil prices went negative.

the old "had some extra gas in the can with the broken nozzle" trick.
