First and only time, brain not in gear so made allowances for myself lol

Your right Antipesto, it was better than going the other way.

 

I have seen some crazy people just throw some oil in a tank, it could be anything from 100-1 to 15-1 How do they get away with it, or do they just keep buying & selling saws on ebay when they get trouble. I doubt they could use a computer so thats ruled out :-)

I think I read off here that they used to do a fuel mix at 25:1??

Yup - on the older saws in the day ran 25:1 but two stroke oil has developed and generally most work at 50:1 and Amsoil works at 100:1.

I tend to mix 32-1

Running vintage stuff as well as newer saws so its a compromise

2 stroke oils are much much better now anyway.

When I worked in a Logging crew,we we working late and as the new boy one of the crew come up to me and tells me to do a sly Oil Change on his Landcruiser.

 

So I dug a wee hole,drained the Sump into it,fited a new filter and went into the Container Truck,Pumped out a Jug of "Delvac HXP" and sorted.

 

On the way back in the Wagon he tells his mate about the Oil Change.

 

"What Delvac?" Asks his mate

 

"Its in the Container" sayes Chas

 

"No thats Bar Lube" replies his mate.

 

*Guys face turns white*

 

Turns out the Fluid Truck filled an empty Diesel Oil Drum with Bar lube.Everyone knew this except me and Chas.So Landcruiser Engines get from Kiangaroa Forest to Taupo using Bar Lube without problems and its always wise to spread the word or use correct lables.

Mike remind me to tell you the grease-bucket story next time we have a beer.
