A mixture of 50-1, how do I mix it? For one gallon or litre of gas how
much
oil?
Thanks for any help


To get the proper mixture of oil per gallon of gas, divide 128 (# of
ounces in a gallon) by ratio.
i.e. 128 / 40 = 3.2, so a 40:1 ratio needs 3.2 oz. of oil.
Other ratios:
25:1 = 5.1 oz per gallon.
50:1 = 2.5 oz per gal.


That will work in the States... but not all of us are American.

Last I heard Canada was part of North America so I guess Canadians are
"American" too.
