premix- a newbie question

We got our rx7 from a complete re-build and conversion to single turbo, it rocks.

Put in in the first full tank of gas, but wasnt thinking and added the premix after the gas.
So I am thinking the premix is not mix in well with the gas.

I know after some driving it will all mix, but should I bounce the back of the car to help it mix or something else?

are you using the OMP at all or 100% premix only?

Does your car have a working OMP? If so stop thinking about it. Premixing with a working OMP on a street car is not a necessity by any means.

Even if it doesn't have an OMP but you have correctly been premixing the right amount of mix, you'll be fine. The engine internals get pretty saturated with oil so its not like its going to run dry while it mixes in the gas tank.

I saw a Youtube video somewhere of someone adding premix to a container before adding gasoline and again after adding gasoline. It doesn't mix as well if you premix after you fill up, but it does mix. I wouldn't worry about the order.

Same. I have done a couple of ways and haven’t seen any difference. Adding in the tank and going for a drive will sure enough mix it well enough with the fuel slushing around in the tank.

Cheers
