What oil to fuel ratio are you using?

[WranglerX]

One small bottle of 50:1 Stihl oil to 1 gallon of fuel..... Since my fuel can only hold 1 gallon and I buy oil by the 6 pack it hard to make a mistake.... Only have four 2 cycle engines and all are 50:1...

Ive been using 50:1 for 30 years with no issues. Well, let me restate ….. no problems for last aprox 10 years . Thats when I switched to non ethanol fuel.

Now no problems. I no longer need to rebuild or replace small carbs since swapping to non ethanol.

Been using the manufacturer recommended 50-1 since the 70’s and it has never caused me any problems.
Have friends that swear 40-1 is a better choice.

I buy the pre mix bottles for 2 gallons and then pump 2 gallons of gas in the can. I don’t buy the 2 stroke oil in larger bottles to measure and I don’t attempt to pour gas from a larger can. The potential for error is too high for my taste doing it that way. I run everything 50-1 and I’ve never had a problem doing it.

I don’t use enough all year to mix more than a gallon at a time and I’m willing to pay for the 1 gallon bottles.

If it sits too long I pour what’s left in the can into the 4-stroke mower tank…

Mix my 2-stroke fuel 1 gallon at a time. 50:1 Echo Red Armour. Have 89 and 90 ethanol free gas available in my area. Also keep Echo Red Amour pre-mixed in quart cans on hand for unexpected needs. Also 50:1 ratio with a 5-year shelf life if unopened, 2 years after opening
