Ok how do you mix two cycle oil in your tank if the cars on jacks?
Yeah this is a dumb question.
This is whats going on, my car has been in storage for the last year, and I'm coming home soon and want to start the car. But I dont have the OMP anymore, and before I left I filled the car up and added oil to the tank, also before I left I srayed Fogging oil in to the housing coating all the faces. Well I know after a year the oil and the gas will have seperated. Also I know I can just start the car for a minute or so with no problem, but I know it will take a while to get the car to even start and when it does it going to smoke real bad but after that its going to be just gas and no oil. So how do I mix the oil?

So just start here up and drive for a while. But take it easy since she's been sitting for a while. The gas will have lost some octane lvs's since it's been sitting in your tank for a year.
Oh and flush out your coolant. And add new water and coolant.
Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year

You'll most likely be fine just running it as is... However if you are really that worried; pull a plug from the front an rear housings, squirt some two cycle oil in each housing and then fire the car up. That will help lubricate things until what's in the tank gets mixed.

Well I know at start up theres plenty of oil in the sytem. Like I said I sprayed fogging oil in to the housing. But I was just worried if I let it run for 5 mins to warm up, of course I would be reving it to about 1000-2000 rpms to help it stop smoking and to assit in warming up.

Stick a tube in the gas tank and BLOW, HARD!!
Thats what i did to my friends blazer. I ran about 3 feet of tubing (it was about 3/8 tubing, clear plastic) and ran it as far as i could stick it in the gas tank and just kept on blowing, like if i was blowing bubbles. I knew it was working cause you can actually hear it, well i could.
Good luck.

Take the fittings off an aircompressor hose stick it in the tank, put rags around rest of filler neck to catch splashes etc..turn air compressor on. Ensure your eyeballs arent near the filler!!
I mixed some stale fuel with some new fuel & octane booster in my tank doing this.

My thoughts exactly.
It's premix, so it's designed to mix with fuel and stay mixed. If you need to increase the ratio of premix for whatever reason, then dump in the additional premix and run the F/P for a while. The jumper method is really quick and easy.

As stated I would use the jumper wire from FP to GND. Let the pump run for 10-20 mins.
Depending on the state of your battery I would have a charger on it to serve two functions. A: to keep the battery from being drained and B: to charge the already fatigued battery.
The next smart thing to do would be to unplug the AWS so it doesn't shoot sky-high when you start it.
