Oil mixing rituals

Recommended Posts

Was wondering if people have any hard and fast rules when mixing their 2-stroke fuel. Do you always put the oil in first (or last), do you shake the can to mix the oil into the petrol? I put the oil in first, it's like an admission fee that has to be paid before the petrol can go in...

Oil in first then the Petrol/Aspen or whatever . The poring in helps the mix . A quick shake prior to every fill up is what I do .

I’m Guessing that most people here using combi cans .been having trouble recently with the husqvarna ones and the fuel spilling out all over the floor and my hands.

any one had similar problems ? In future I think I’ll just go back to aspen cans 

The new Husky cans are shite,,,,,,,,,the old ones with the green spouts were the best

Husky combi cans are crap.
They leak within 3-4 months.
We've all made that mistake.
Just bite the bullet and get a stihl one with anti spill spouts.
I've had mine 4 years.

The husqvarna cans are brilliant... for about 6 months, then the quick fill spouts seize and the seal perishes. The green topped ones were better but someone ran over mine and I stupidly binned it with one working spout on which with hindsight I could have saved.
