See full version: Too much 2-stroke oil in fuel mix
There's not much room for more petrol in the mixing container without overfilling it.So i'm in a tough position in regards to adding much petrol.
I suppose i could try using the fuel after i've used the remaining fuel currently in the brushcutter's tank so i can get a clear result on weither the mix i've made today makes too much smoke. here
I think you'll be ok. just a hunch unless you really missed the mix - some people add a little extra oil in the mix on purpose because they think it helps to lubricate the engine better (I don't necessarily agree). the only real draw back is that it can foul the plug.
Hey all,
Just a question for any small engine experts out there.Will the 2-stroke fuel i mixed a few minutes ago make too much smoke? Because i used 20ml of 2-stroke oil to make one litre of mix because that's what my brushcutter manual said and when pouring the petrol i accidently went over the 1 litre mark on the mixing container and decided to put 10ml more oil in to avoid the situation of too little oil now i'm worried the brushcutter will smoke like green material on a fire. here
I'm of the mind that it's always best to use the recommended mixture ratio since that's the number they came to when they tested the engine during development. [links]
Shake the fuel to mix it and then pour it into the fuel tank. Place the gas cap on securely. here
Do not estimate ratio measurements. Too little or too much oil can damage the weed eater.
Fuel stabilizer is meant to be left in with the fuel, but you should not leave any fuel inside your weed eater during the winter. If you have any doubts, consult the owner’s manual for your weed eater.
Why is it unsafe for weed eaters if it can be used in vehicles? Ethanol draws and locks in moisture. Small engines on outdoor appliances like weed eaters and lawnmowers weren’t made to handle significant amounts of water. Fuel tanks are vented, which means air from the outside can get inside, and the air is typically humid, especially in the summer months, and it’s even worse if you live in a very humid area.
The Clean Air Act of 1990 and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 have required that most of the gasoline sold in the United States contain some ethanol, so it might be difficult to find ethanol-free or E10 gasoline in some areas.
Excess oil can produce a smoky exhaust, oil leaking out of the muffler, and sometimes loss of power. While not ideal, these issues can be fixed by simply replacing the fuel in the tank with properly mixed fuel. But running a two-cycle engine with too little oil can actually destroy the unit.
Need to mix fuel for your STIHL 2-Stroke engine? You’ll need STIHL 2-Stroke oil, an empty and clean fuel can & fresh unleaded fuel from a reputable petrol station. Mix at 50:1 (20mls oil per 1 litre fuel) when you’re using STIHL 2-Stroke oil. here
Ryobi SS30 engines do best with mid-grade or premium unleaded gasoline that has a minimum octane rating of 87. Mix 2.6 ounces of high quality 2-cycle engine oil with 1 gallon of gas in a clean container approved for gasoline before using the mix to fill the engine.
For a mixing ratio of 1 : 50 you need 5 litres of petrol and 0.10 litres (100cm³) of STIHL two-stroke oil. here
Also, How much oil do I need for a 50 to 1 ratio? more
– For a 50:1 ratio of gas to oil, use 2.6 fluid ounces of oil per gallon of gas.
– For a 40:1 mixture, use 3.2 fluid ounces of oil per gallon of gas.
– For a 32:1 mixture, use 4 fluid ounces of oil per gallon of gas.
