How do you measure 45:1 ? My 40:1 for the scooter is as close as I can get.

 

I just resort to iphone calculator.  Generally I start with 4 litres of unmixed petrol in a 5l aspen can, that is 4,000 ml.  4,000 divided by 45 would be approx 89ml.  I have a variety of sizes of plastic measuring jugs. I use the 100ml jug to measure out just below 90ml of oil.  Drop that smaller measuring jug into a 2litre mixing jug.  Pour in some petrol and slosh it around a bit so everything is dissolved and the smaller jug is clean.  Pour back into the aspen can. Repeat with more petrol if you want to.

 

Job done.  Denny all knowledge of the smell of fuel.

For measuring the oil to add to the petrol I have a tall graduated glass tube, the sort of thing we had in science lab at school, so it's just right for the job.

That's my method, I use 50:1 for some stuff but mostly it's Motomix or ***** for my saws.

Weird it's not writing A S P E N 🙃

I have a 2t bottle that I bought from DM Chainsaws back in 1857 . I still use it to this day as it has the graduations on it for mixing at 50:1 . Its just that now a days it gets filled with Red Line 2T racing oil and I mix it with Husqvarna alkylate fuel .

The Esso fuel being zero ethanol in the past, is it still true ?

Unfortunately not.  Esso state on their website that premium their E5 now contains ethanol.

That was my understanding too, just wondered if Pleasant knew different….. it was 2023 when that message was posted, I’m sure Esso have had to toe the line….
