If the mixture behaves, then try the 50-50 mix in a container connected directly to the fuel pump (like doing a diesel purge). If the engine seems happy then move on to putting it in the fuel tank. As always, keep an eye on the fuel filters.

Excellent idea. I'll try it in the next few days and report back with my findings.

Thanks to all who replied,

Bryan
