Can someone help to explain the use of a Combi Fuel Can 5 Litre?

Muddy posted a pic earlier of a measured bottle for dispensing oil. You squeeze the required amount into the chamber then pour into the can with fuel, give the can a shake and it's mixed.

Does that answer your question?

 

Yes, buy the dispenser bottle and when it is used re fill it with the cheaper stihl standard 1 litre bottle.

I think I'm gonna have a lie down for a while,,

That is what I have for mixing my fuel and 2 stroke in the correct quantity. 

 

But the Husky Petrol side is for Petrol, and the Oil side is for Chainsaw Oil. 

 

What I am trying to explain is how do I mix the Petrol and 2 Stroke with the Husky? 

 

I don't think you can. So it seems I would have to mix the fuel with the 2 stroke in a separate container and then add it to the Husky. 

 

Yes.  If in doubt at all or you don't have squeezable measuring jars.  Use a big jug to measure the fuel:

and and a small jug to measure the two stoke oil:

I’ve used the same dispenser bottle for four x 5l bottles now. They do last.

You'll have a shock when you need to buy the next bottle of red line - £109 for a gallon or 3.4 litres.  About 5x as expensive as other stuff.  or just buy 50:1 alkalyte and adjust the ratio

Luckily I have enough to see me out ! 😀

I have one of these, I've drawn a line with a permanent marker at correct level so I never fill to wrong line by mistake.

Measure 2 stroke oil in here, pour it into 5l fuel side of combi can.  (Or use 1 shot bottles)

Add 5 litres of fuel and a small shake job done.

I'm struggling to see how I can complicate it if I tried, it takes seconds.

Don't think you need to 'pre mix' it?  It doesn't need much mixing or shaking, if you add fuel onto the oil it pretty much does it itself.

I'm sure you could pick up a few options on here.

You can mix fuel into any container you want - any combi can, or Ive used plastic milk bottles. Its best also with a big and small measuring jug.  So three containers in total.

- plan what quantities and ratio you need - say 5 litre (same as 5000 ml) of fuel and 50:1

- use large measuring jug to measure fuel and add it to the combi can

- use small measuring jug to measure oil and add it to the combi can

- if you want to be a pro, add the oil half way through adding the fuel stage so you can rinse out the small jug.

 

that's it. Dont use the old fashioned imperial measurements - its much harder.

 

Im sure there are youtube videos.

Why try and simplify it, it only complicates things🤪
