I dont think you will have an issue. i put a few ounces in mine when i mix up a 20L
from what ive ready you can use isopropyl alcohol based fuelline anitfreeze but not methyl hydrate or methly alcohol based. it will usually say in the warning small print area what type you have
mix'n it up
at about 10% water/alcohol as a percentage of your fuel, most oil mixed in will tend to separate back out. Mix it , use it right now........ok. In doubt, set a water glass of your premix on the shelf and keep any eye on it for a week.
done that and found the oil separating out in little gobs floating to the top and sometimes just suspended oil drops floating in the fuel mix rather than a consistent mixture.
the danger today is even high octane gas labeled alcohol free has water based ethanol or alcohol mixed it to boost octane. Only test is mix and observe.
