Status: offline 		I have a full jug of 10 percent 2 stroke fuel and a pretty old 1/4 jug of fuel I've been using. Should I add the new fuel to the old jug or fly out the old jug? I hate going to the field and carring two jugs when I know one would do.

Status: offline 		I'm like you....I put the new in the old jug all the time. AS long as the fuel is the same brand I don't see a problem.. I've even mixed different nito strenghts.

Have never had a problem.

I too top off the jug I'm using from with new fuel.
