running gas in my truck from my jet ski?
Long story short, I had to pull the motor out of my jet ski and since the only way you can take out my jet skis fuel tank is with the motor out, I went ahead and decided that a good cleaning of the tank wouldnt be a bad idea.
However its got aout 2-3 gallons of fuel still in it. I dont want to waste this BUT the fuel is mixed with 2 stroke oil. Would that be a bad idea to let it run through my truck?

I Wouldnt unless there's at least 5 gallons of fuel in your truck the worst that can happen is messed up spark plugs and a lot of smoke from the exhaust but still i wouldnt wantto have to change my plugs just to save 2 gallons of fuel..

Re: running gas in my truck from my jet ski?
I would use the fuel for anything not vehicle related, such as edgers, trimmers, snow-blowers, etc., but living in the South, you probably don't have a snowblower. I wouldn't use it in your vehicle. Put it in a gas container, and maybe a neighbor can use it in something.
