If this will become too big a job, then just fill it up with regular gas and put up with the smoke that it will emit. This could cause you a little problem with the spark plug and gumming up the carb, but I doubt if any damage will occur since there is not really all that much oil in the tank anyway. good luck.

It will smoke really bad and is not good for the plug or the engine.
