Tracy is right on track here (as if his years of experience need my two 
cents) with the idea of a solution.  The key is getting the oil mixed with 
the fuel, once there, it will remain in solution.  Mixing it with the fuel 
requires some type of agitation due to the viscosity differences between 
them.  Try mixing corn syrup with water if you need to see what I'm talking 
about.  Once mixed though, you will have no problems.

Take care, Marc M
