I've been running power equipment for 50 years but I still come back and check some of these basic videos of yours at times. You do a great job of communicating- you talk slow and emphasize the important points and you have this schtick that you're a meathead so if you can understand these things, anyone can. Really effective presentation.

40:1 - unless the mosquitoes are really bad, then it's 32:1. Pro tip right there.

For us, in the US, 1 gallon is 128 fluid ounces. the 2-stroke oil is sold in fluid ounces. The same formula applies, as long as you use the same "units" of measurement. For 1 gallon, we use 2.56 Oz of oil. When we get the small bottles like you showed, they're "dosed" for 50:1, to mix with exactly 1 Gal. of gasoline. (petrol) All my leaf blowers, chainsaws, small portable generator and line trimer use 50:1 which is nice, because I can mix just one gallon (+2.56 ounces) of fuel, to run all the engines. I'm really glad, that I don't have a half-dozen small cans, with different mix ratios! Better to mix smaller quantities, and mix more often, to have the newest fuel possible, by the end of the season. Convenient, when you have the right size can, and the right size bottles of oil, so you don't have to measure anything. When I mix, I put a small quantity of gasoline in first, then the oil, then, the rest of the gasoline. It seems to diffuse quite nicely. Another thing I do, is pour a small quantity of gasoline in the bottle after I've added it to the can, just to 'rinse' out the residual oil in the small bottle, making sure I have ALL the oil in the mix.

I’m an Australian who was around when Australia went from imperial to metric. I can tell you without hesitating that metric makes it so much easier. I still talk about miles etc occasionally but do all measurements and calculations in metric. Give it a go and try to let your old school bias go.

I have to admit your the only small engine guy who makes sense on what topic you choose, and your easy to understand. I've worked on small engines for almost 20+ years. But I forget things, and I come to you as my reference guide. I enjoy watching your videos. Wish I was there having a brewski with ya. Thank you, you have been a major help. This is my first year working with saws. Usually working on lawn mowers or weed whackers.

If it's tough to see the fuel level, use a flashlight flush against the side of your plastic fuel jug. It'll light up the interior and make the level easy to see. Thanks Steve for all your great videos. I like Dos Equis.

Most Americans like being different and a lot of us are proud that there are good people out there like Steve to ride us about it. Thanks for your channel we know that everything is not all bad yet.

Hello from Pennsylvania, Hey Steve, I use a $9.99 synthetic oil for this and back of its container it shows 4 ounces per gallon of fuel. So I simply measure 8 ounces for my 32:1 two gallon fuel container and top it off with 2 gallons of gas at the fuel pumps. No calculators required, just simple-simple-simple, but hey we use metrics a lot here for other stuff. We enjoy your channel ... one of the best.

I find it easiest to convert the ratio to a percentage., ie. 50:1 = 1/50 = .02, or 40:1 = 1/40 = .025 Now just use whatever measurement you want(liters, milliliters, gallons, ounces, etc.) and multiply by the percentage and you will have the required amount of oil to mix. It's all the same, just a slightly different way to look at it. And by the way, thanks for the videos Steve, this is amongst the best educational Youtube channels I've come across by far

Everything I’ve ever heard from Steve has proved to be right on, so far. YouTube has good stuff too.

Steve a prime example of why we use the old measurement system here in the states . We can't use a calculator either to do all that figuring lol.

This is exactly what I do. I bought a one gallon gas container and a one gallon mix and kept it. I bought a five gallon oil mix and just add to the 1 gallon bottle a little under the shoulder pour in then fill with gas. Works great every time. No smoke and the 2 cycle engine worked great!

Because of the beer i trust this man.

I'm 62. I have a lot of experience with 2 cycle engines. Dirt bikes, chainsaws, weed eaters, etc. All I've ever done is follow the manufacturers recommendations and I've never had a problem. Just say'in.

Steve you're a legend, one of the best YouTube presenters out there, respect Man.

I'm with you, Steve. I saved the little oil container that came with my saw to reuse as a "measuring cup" for the more economical quarts of oil I purchase instead. Budweiser is a definitely a great choice for this video to boot!

Your right, we are living in the dark ages down here. However most of the mix oil comes in bottles set up for gallons, so it's not to big of a problem. Cheers.

When I was a bricklayer we'd always say 'mill' instead of millimetres, so I say 'mill' instead of millilitres or milliliters when talking about fluids. It's a lot easier to say. Try it, you'll like it, Steve. I use a chainsaw EVERY working day, pruning citrus trees on three big orchards in Queensland Australia and your videos are the BEST.

I buy tiny bottles that say" 1 gallon mix" and dump it in a one gallon can. No calculations necessary...just more time for drinking beer.
