What's your fuel mixing arrangements?

I bought a bottle of stihl 2 stroke oil with a measuring bulb on the top that is graduated for 5L and 3L mixes. I measure out the 2 stroke into the petrol can then fill up with the appropriate amount of petrol at the petrol station. Nice and simple and no mess.

Since the 2 stroke bottle with the measuring bulb cost more, I kept it when it was empty and now just buy a plain bottle and decant it into the measuring bottle immediately after purchase. Works for me.

Hi Corylus,

 

The 5 litre can's can go in house hold recycling when they are empty as the are made form the same plastic as milk bottles.

 

Aspen is available in Europe in 20 litre plastic containers but the cost to you would be the same as buying the 5 litre cans.

 

Also I don't think you can have 20 litres of flammable liquid in a plastic container here in the UK.

 

All the best

Sure you can. It's how I get my acetone delivered these days. It used to be the metal drums, but no more.

You are only allowed to store 10 litres of petrol in two separate 5 litre plastic containers or 20 litres in two separate suitable 10 litre metal containers in a domestic situation i.e. a vehicle on the drive or a garage. It's all explained on the HSE site. There are different regulations for work places and home situations.

Combi can and a sthil one shot. Saves the wrong amount of 2 two stroke being put in by me or my groundy. Slightly more expensive than bulk 2 stroke but much less hassle and no lean mix risk
