2 stroke mix

[Shonzy.]

am i right in sayin 50;1 mix is 5 l of fuel and .8 pints of oil

[chesters1]

50 parts (any size so long as their equal))petrol to 1 part (any size etc)of oil.

i.e 50 ltrs fuel + 1 litre oil

or 1 ltr fuel + 20ml of oil

it gets confusing mixing litres and pints

hopefully my maths is correct

the two stroke bottle should be graduated to the correct mix on a see through section on the side

You can buy mixing bottles which make the process easier.

10 litres of petrol needs 200ml of oil. 15 litres = 300ml, etc, etc.

its easy in litres (damn my mouth) but using 2 measerment baselines does my head in ,i think 5ltrs and .8 of a pint makes 12 to 1 or is it 15 to 1 :confused: :confused:

My mate has a small o/b and makes up 2 stroke oil doses in spirit minitures which are 25cl. That makes it very easy to measure and mix in 5l petrol cans. Two of those in a can is 100:1, which is what most modern o/b take.

re a 50/1 mix = 1ltr petrol = 20mls oil

5ltrs petrol=100mls oil

10ltrs petrol=200mls oil

etc. etc,
