Excellent video..veryyyy well done...Im a landscaper and ive seen manyyyy back blowers ruined because the person Did NOT mix 50/1 properly....veryyy well explained sir..I salute u from Chicago 🍻
I love my ratio rite cup I use it for my 1/5 rc cars and chain saws and weed eaters and stuff, the only thing I can say is I dump a little gas back in the cup to clean it and get the exact amount of oil but thats just me being fussy lol.
I greatly appreciate your videos young man. I have learned a great deal from them. Please keep them coming!!! I no longer mix my fuel because I am not as mechanically inclined as I wish. I have found that the Stihl pre mix enables me to crank my Stihl trimmer and edger after 1 or 2 pulls EVERYTIME. I realize it costs 10 times as much but I use very little pre mix per year and the lack of frustration and aggravation of hard starting has dropped to nil.
Larry, I sincerely appreciate your comments! Yes, that pre-mix fuel is pretty awesome and definitely is a great solution for a lot of people. Too bad I use so much that i can’t feasibly use it, or I would.
Larry, for 10 years or more, I have been using Pro-Mix 2-Cycle oil and non-ethanol gas for all of my 2-stroke equipment. There is a line on the bowl for 32:1. this is good for all called for fuel gas ratios. I have even had the mix sit for more than one year. I put it into the empty tank and the engine fires within 2-3 pulls. I am not kidding. No aptitude for mechanics is needed, just fill to the line and add to one gallon of non-ethanol gas. If you choose to use regular gas, you will end up having to replace your fuel lines. This is why I changed how I do things. Have good days!
For 50:1... In Canada here we have Pop bottles in 710ml. Buy a 20 ml syringe, put 14ml of Stihl approved oil and put it in the empty pop bottle. Fill the remainder of the pop bottle with ethanol free hi test. You now have a perfect tank full, so be thankful for this tip. Small fresh batch, no waste no old fuel.
If you were a TRUE GANGSTER, you would have poured some of the final fuel mixture into the cup, swirled the cup a little bit and pour it back in to the fuel jug. This would kill two birds with 1 stone, it would clean out the ratio rite cup and it would have added the left over oil into the main mix.. Just Kidding Bro, I had no idea how to use this cup, I purchased it as a measuring cup and I have mistakenly measured liquid for the past two years!
Say there was already 1 gallon of premix in my jug and I wanted to add another 2 gallons to it. Can I just go to the pump and put in 2 gallons, then add the oil for the 2 gallons of fuel and shake it up?
Even easier with a dollar stor measure cup and metric system. If mixing 10 litres convert that to milliliters so you get 10000ml. 10000 divide by ratio you want so for 32:1 it is 10000÷32=312 so just measure 312ml oil and ad to the 10L of gas and done
Just bought a KX 85 that was freshly rebuilt. Seller recommended that I use 40:1 but didn’t say for how long? Is that for a few hours in and then change to 32:1 ?
You first want to convert your gasoline amount into ounces. 1gal = 128fluid ounces. So you have 4gals at 128fl ounces then a .5gal at 64fl ounces so a total of 576fl ounces. If you want to mix at 40:1. You divide 576 by 40 and get 14.4 fluid ounces. That’s How much you would put in to get 40:1.
It needs a tightly sealing lid... Otherwise you would have to keep it in a plastic bag and get oil all over your hands or clean it out after every use...
You’re measuring weight VS fluid volume. Ounces in this case is Fluid Ounces. There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, thus 40:1 is 3.2 fluid ounces X 40 = 128 fluid ounces. 40:1.
It's fine as long it's not like a year. But a fewobths is fine if storing a year use non ethanol gas to store. Don't use stabilizer that shit doesn't do anything at all. Ethanol free stays fresh for year or longer.
I dont use pump gasoline made for vehicles. I use nonethanol gasoline. Nonethanol is good for 2 stroke engines like your chainsaw. Your chainsaws will love you, if you switched to nonethanol fuel. LOL!!
Best and most understandable two stroke mixture video I’ve seen yet thanks

Thank you sir . Simple and straightforward
I wish companies that make plastic measuring devices would color the markings so that folks like me with 75 year-old eyes could see them easier.
I agree
You make very informative videos appreciate it bud
Thx bro was kinda confused bc I’m getting a 2 stroke dirt bike 💀

I just bought a 97 YZ250 today and the owner said he ran the bike 53 :1 , do I have to do anything to the carb since I’m going to run less oil?
No you do not have to
You’re going to run less oil? I’d run more.
@@perrinayebarra wow more than 53:1?
@@thatsallfolks3115 I run 32:1 in dirtbikes. That’s what the yz250 manual has always recommended.
@@perrinayebarra they also recommend to use yamalube 😂😂
Say there was already 1 gallon of premix in my jug and I wanted to add another 2 gallons to it. Can I just go to the pump and put in 2 gallons, then add the oil for the 2 gallons of fuel and shake it up?
Yes exactly. The premixed gas already in there is cancelled since it's already mixed. It's like a empty can again.
Thank you for good video!
I have the exact same cup. Except I paid separately for the matching lid!
What do you need a lid for?
TheDurbinCompound absolutely nothing, but I got it lol.
Is that the U Jug tractor supply sells? I got one for 21$ with nozzle. Looks to be exactly same as VP cans for half the price!
1985 mercury 115hp is this used 2 stroke mix with gas?
Thanks bro

how many ounces of oil was that for 5 gallons
Just bought a KX 85 that was freshly rebuilt. Seller recommended that I use 40:1 but didn’t say for how long? Is that for a few hours in and then change to 32:1 ?
Run it 32:1 all the time you'll never have a problem
I got a 09 yz85 2 stroke what ratio of oil to gas would you reccomend
is this royal purple what you use in your chainsaws?
Banshee. I use Amsoil in the chainsaws
So you poured it to the 40:1 mark in the cup
25 ml 2 stroke Oil per 1 Liter fuel. I use Motul 800 off road 2t.
What gas jug is that?
I don't have a cone to mix my fuel.
2018 KTM300XCW 2s
Nice vid
I know I’m late but how long can that mixed gas sit in the container before it goes bad?
About a year if you used regular gas and no stabilizer. Longer if you have ethonal free fuel
@@TheDurbinCompound thanks
nice vid
something tells me the durbin compound has its own gas station... 🤔 😂
Just might be right.....
Thanks bud!!)
Goofy to see a city electric hoodie on a 2 stroke oil video
If you know, you know.
How do you mix 4 in a half gallons for a 2 stroke kx100
You first want to convert your gasoline amount into ounces. 1gal = 128fluid ounces. So you have 4gals at 128fl ounces then a .5gal at 64fl ounces so a total of 576fl ounces. If you want to mix at 40:1. You divide 576 by 40 and get 14.4 fluid ounces. That’s How much you would put in to get 40:1.
O.I.L. stands for Oil In Last.
It needs a tightly sealing lid... Otherwise you would have to keep it in a plastic bag and get oil all over your hands or clean it out after every use...
😎🍻🍺
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Each oil has a different mix ratio so I wouldn’t totally go off this videos instructions
One thing you failed to mention is how many ounces you pour it in there
The amount 100% varies on the oil and what ratio you are wanting
@@TheDurbinCompound well you said you mix at 40 to 1
40:1 is 3.2ounces per gallon of fuel
@@TheDurbinCompound A gallon of gas weighs about 6.3 pounds. 6.3x16=100.8 ounces 100.8÷40=2.52
You’re measuring weight VS fluid volume. Ounces in this case is Fluid Ounces. There are 128 fluid ounces in a gallon, thus 40:1 is 3.2 fluid ounces X 40 = 128 fluid ounces. 40:1.
5000gallons ( 18000 litter )
Pro tip gas metering gauges aren’t accurate use the marks on your can
Its not good to store mixed gas rite
It's fine as long it's not like a year. But a fewobths is fine if storing a year use non ethanol gas to store. Don't use stabilizer that shit doesn't do anything at all.
Ethanol free stays fresh for year or longer.
@@v8consumption thanks
@@v8consumption I tried Seafoam fuel additive. It seemed to help my gas from going sour as fast. Is Startron or Sta-bil any good?
@@virginia7125 gas additives are not good in general. You should just use fresh gas or use non ethanol gas if storing vehicle for winter
I dont use pump gasoline made for vehicles. I use nonethanol gasoline. Nonethanol is good for 2 stroke engines like your chainsaw. Your chainsaws will love you, if you switched to nonethanol fuel.
LOL!!
Wide Angle camera lens in use. hahahahahahaha. Weird.
