1 to 40 which is 3.2 fluid oz (US) per gallon (US) or 25ml per litre metric
or alternatively
1 to 50 which is 2.6 fl oz per US gallon, the metric equivalent being 20mL per litre.
Consult the manual of your machine. Some quote a ratio of 1 to 50 while others quote 1:40. You can't go wrong by choosing 1 to 40 however.
10.1
1:40
4 stroke fuel is straight petrol, it does not have oil in it! If you use it in a 2 stroke engine you will seize the motor. 2 stroke fuel has oil added to it.
No it isn't fatal, but it would smoke quite a bit, because a two stroke engine needs two stroke oil mixed in the petrol, and a four stroke just needs petrol.
nothing the 2stroke-petrol will smoke as it burns the oil which should be mixed in it
If petrol mixes with engine oil in a 4 stroke engine then the mixture becomes thick and its combustion will not be efficient. The exhaust will be smoky due to this incomplete combustion. also this will reduce engine efficiency.
two stroke pre mix : say ratio of oil : petrol is 1 : 20, then say if you have 10 litres of petrol, you need to add 0.5 litres of oil
I have a Tondu S180 strimmer. The petrol to oil ratio is 25:1. This information is embossed on the fuel tank filler cap on my machine. Peter.
Ordinary 87 gasoline, the same you put in a car. It depends if it is a four stroke or two stroke engine. If the engine has a separate filler for oil then plain petrol will do. If there is no separate filler the 25 to 1 petrol /oil mix should be OK.
it will take any 2 stroke oil just mix it with petrol with a ratio of 25/1
Probably however the oil is usually only in the petrol with a two stroke motor.
Failing to mix oil with the petrol is a common one.
