    I like the idea of collecting the unburned mixture and reusing it. But after looking at the photo of the collected mixture in the clear container it looks most likely a higher percentage of oil than the original mix. This would throw off your oil:gas ratio considerably after adding it back into your tank,and add to the issue you are trying to solve .
    I really try to get my fuel oil ratio close to exactly the recommended ratio ,and a slight bit more,to compensate for Seafoam and fuel stabilizer added to the gas. Not knowing what ratio of" recycled" oil was adding back in the tank would bug me.
    Be careful with the collection of those fuel vapors for sure.
    I’m not knocking the collection of unburned fuel, I really like the idea ! Jim
