So my dad is 83 and getting forgetful. During the winter he put reg gas in the leaf blower instead of mixed even though I had each jug marked with where they go. He did this a few times and each time it slowed to a stop when the reg gas took over. I would see the wrong color gas in, take it home, drain and fill with mixed.

Only now does it blow a bit of blue when it starts and until it is warm. He did damage the piston walls running it dry those times.


You had a one time incident and caught it. I doubt you will see any issues in long term damages. Got lucky.
