Thanks for putting the sensor myth to rest. It's amusing to watch the
rumor perpetuate - I mentioned it, then others parrot the warning, yet
no one seems to know what sensors they are talking about or why a
miniscule amount of 2 stroke oil would affect them. Didn't the old
stolen kidney myth get started on Usenet too? :^)

I always throw a once in a blue moon squirt of 2 cycle oil in all my
vehicles with in-tank gas pumps on the theory they could use the lube.
Since I never have to change pumps it must work!
