I always wondered what would happen if you put regular gas into something like a leaf blower that needs two-cycle oil/gas mixture. Now I know. You go to Lowes and spend a hundred bucks on a new leaf blower.
I wasn't exactly sure that I had added the oil to the little gas can, but I didn't think I would have NOT done it, and I really wanted to clean up the driveway.
That little leafblower ran really, really great for about four minutes. Then it quit. You can't even pull the cord. Unlubricated metal and extreme heat don't mix.
