The more lazy folk might like to use an App or fuel mixing bottle, but I like to know how things work and these simple calculations show how. It really is easy. Don't be lazy; you can understand too. I bought my mixing jug here:

    Well, I've learnt something new tonight, I had no idea what the 'M' buttons on the calculator were for! Good info too, and well explained :)

    Spot on Sandy, I have loads of gear with different mixes and never been that sure I had each one right. But I will now. Thanks mate very good info. Arthur.

    Excellent tip Sandy. Much appreciated. I still remember when a neighbor forgot to add oil to this motorboat after storage. Motor started and then froze. He destroyed it. Peace, Ken
  • Good information here mate, you have demonstrated how to work out the percentage of oil used per litre of fuel, ie, 50:1= 2% 33:1=3% 25:1=4% and so on and so on. Thank you.

    Great video Sandy, so easy to understand. Great advice, you make a great teacher.

    Great video and easy to understand. As I use small quantities I use a lawnmower/chainsaw mixing plastic bottle with mixture measurement marks. Very cheap at around £3. Also can be used for storage. Talking about storage they recommend 2 x stroke fuel mix should be kept no longer than 1 month. Modern Straight Petrol 3 months as it starts to deteriorate. Also old motorbike glass fibre fuel tanks as well as O rings and plastic float bowls can dissolve with modern petrol. All according to Motorcycle magazines articles George Ps Its mentioned on the BMW Air Head Forum under Etherynol etc.

    Great video and easy to break it down and understand, 👍
  • Great upload. I never new how to work out 2 stroke ratios but now I done 👍🏻
  • @Filip_Bubanja
    I have a two stroke Jawa 350 motorcycle, two cilynders. Factory recomends 1:40 ratio. When I was younger I never measured exactly; I put oil in petrol on "eye" and "by feel" but I never put less. I put oil in petrol to this day like that. Its not dangerous if you put a little bit more oil, just dont put less oil. Jawa still works good.

    This is a great helpful video Sandy, I have an Atco 1953 Lawn Mower, so will come in handy. :-)Thank you
  • Thank you sandy for the info. I've just got a Stihl strimmer and that's a real easy way of getting the correct mix.
  • @thedogs4650

  • @campfire52
    Thanks for the little tip Sandy. It is always nice to simplify things. Take care my friend.
  • @stevescet
    Good advice, paint mixing cups are handy and less fragile than Pyrex too.
  • Thank you Sir , for your info it Is so helpful to me. I am a master now on oil and gas ratio mixing, thank you again.
  • @adamb3312
    Thanks for that, handy tip👍, you can also get those jugs in the Range😊 I use Aspen fuel for the chainsaws & strimmers but other 2 strokes get a decent synthetic oil in petrol (gas) as Aspen is quite expensive😀 atb Adam
