A question about gas/oil mix
 
I have a Stihl backpack blower that takes 50:1 mix. I also have a McCullogh
Eager Beaver chain saw that takes 40:1 and an Echo SRM 1500 string trimmer
that takes 32:1. Can I use 50:1 in all, without causing damage, considering
that I use Stihl 50:1 oil for the blower?

stihl 50:1 is a true synthetic. use it mixed 50:1 in everything. we
used that in the shop i used to work at. i still use it at home. it'll

The 50:1 will be fine in everything.Whatever you do though,never use another
oil other than Stihl for your blower,other oils tend to foul the plug.
