Screwup
I was in the process of getting my 2003 coupe ready for storage, I was going to put some fuel stabilizer in it. However, I grabbed the wrong bottle. Put 1n about 8 oz. of power steering fluid. Tank is full. Any problems, or should I drain the tank?

In the days of Carburetors, I use to put a small amount of ps fluid in the Carb with engine rpm's way up for removing top end carbon build up. A lot of smoke when I did but it did work

THAT'S hilarious!! OP, I know guys who used to mix a quart of motor oil with a full tank of Sunoco 260 (boy, THAT dates me, or what??!) when they ran a rebuilt engine for the first time. They also used non-detergent oil to break in the engine. Last, but not least, one buddy I had plumbed in another set of windshield washers/pump and aimed them up and towards the front of his car. He lived in an average sized city. People would use the crosswalks, and it was amazing how many people looked up at the sky when he'd activate that thing😳!!!!
