    I have stayed around the 1 oz gallon but not to the point of being exact by any means. I also see several places where i buy fuel mixed with bio diesel. I usually dont run any 2 stroke if i am running

Ash. Metal in oils. Typically this is caused by ATF, Waste Engine Oil, etc. ATF contains things like anti-scorching compounds, friction modifiers and other soft metals like zinc added. Waste engine oil is the same way with zinc and other soft metals added and compounds to extend the life of engine oil. Now when you burn this the metals come out as ah as seem above. This why the 2 cycle oil theory was created to resolve these issues of ash. Now back in the 1970 ATF didn't have all these compounds and same with engine oil.
