I live in CANADA and we like most of the world use liters.Makes it very easy to figure out.Thanks.If a person can't use your method,they can usually find the ratios on the back of the oil bottle.
For us 'mericans (who don't realize all the gas cans have both Imperial and Metric units on them, so Chris' nifty trick will work just fine for us) and want to work with gallons and ounces just multiply the gallon figure by 2.6 to get the oz of 2-cycle oil to add: 1 gal gas * 2.6 = 2.6 oz oil 1/2 gal gas * 2.6 = 1.3 oz oil 5 gal gas * 2.6 = 13 oz oil etc.
The way you put it makes it very simple and I needed that because I have never done this before. Thank you. It would be helpful to label which is gas and which is oil. But I actually understood and will now know what to do.Thanks.
Thank you sir, very helpful. To the americans in the comment section infuriated that the video uses litres, the entire planet uses the metric system, you just havent caught up, stop whinging.
For everyone in the U.S. - 1. Get a small spare gas can for oil and gas mix. 2. For EACH gallon of gas, add 76.9 ml of oil mix. 3. Try to get as close to 2.000 (etc.) gallons as possible. NOT DOLLARS, on the top display at the gas pump. Look at the bottom display when filling your gas can. GO AHEAD AND DOUBLE CHECK. THIS IS THE CORRECT 50:1 RATIO.
Ahhh ok that's funny "for every one in USA" 1 gallon to 76.9 ml (milliliters)!!!! How about oz.?????????? So everyone in USA that is 2.6 oz to one 1 gallon of gas. Now I think we Americans in the South understand!
To make it simple...50:1...50 is the amount of petrol and 1 that's the amount of oil..so in every 50 litres of petrol..you mixed it with a 1000millilitres of oil..you get 1000millilitres by multiplying 50 litres by 2 and then just add a zero to your answer which end up to 1000millilitres..cheers from Australia;-)
If you doubled it up, it would be 25:1. So for 100:1 you would half it further from 20ml, which would make it 10ml per litre. METRIC 25:1 Add 40 ml of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gas. 50:1 Add 20 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gas. 100:1 Add 10 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gas. US 25:1 Add 5.2 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gas. 50:1 Add 2.6 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gas. 100:1 Add 1.3 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gas.
or just divide the fuel amount by 5 and add two 0s at the end e.g. 35/5=7 or 5/5=1 youre converting from L to mL you move the decimal place three places to the right.
An even easier method is that if you have a 50:1 ratio you just take the amount of litres of fuel you want to mix and divide that number by 50. The result is your need for oil, in litres. So if you have 5 litres of gasoline and you want to make that a 50:1 ratio with oil you just divide 5 by 50 = 0.1Litres of oil. If you have 15L of fuel divide 15 by 50 = 0.3L of oil. The advantage of this method is that it's only 1 mathematical operation and it works for any mixture ratio regardless of the ratio and regardless of it beeing in Litres or Gallons. 100:1 ratio, just divide the amount of fuel you want to mix by 100 and so on😊
Offcourse, it doesn't matter. Ratio is ratio regardless of the measurement variant. 50:1 is for every 50 gallons of gasoline you mix that with 1 gallon of oil. So if you have 5 gallons of fuel you divide that by 50, = 0.1 gallon of oil. So in the 5 gallons of gasoline you mix 0.1 gallon of oil.

Who the hell uses liter, we use gallons. Therefore 128ounces = 1 gallon: 128 oz divided by 50 = 2.56 oz per gallon. To get a 40:1 ratio 128 divided by 40 = 3.2, 32:1 is 128\32 =4 oz!!!!!
Late to the draw here...say the stock ratio is 40:1 & you want to go 20:1, how would this affect the jotting on a main, etc? E.G. main jet is 175 and the pilot is a 40...i know it is a percentage increase, how much of a percentage is going from 40 to 20:1 and then the conversion to the jets? Huge mental block with this stuff, but know that more oil is more power and better for parts too. Thanks for the video!

If i dont have a gas tank ad zj have gas and 2 cycle oil and a empty tank chainsaw. 16 oz total . How do I measure the gas and oil? How do I measure how much i pour into the chainsaw?
What I didn't understand, in which you did not show, was how you got the multiplier "2". It is a simple case of using the base number of 100 and dividing the "50" by it giving you "2".
I dont get how this would work because i have one bottle of 2 stroke marine oil that says add 2.5 ounces per gallon for 50:1 and another bottle from a different manufacturer that says to add 3 ounces per gallon for 50:1
Hey Chris next time use Sydharbs and Erlang units for U.S.A. 'Merica measurement references .That way it could be converted to MegaFonzies for use in our Evinrude Outboard Motors! LOL!
Jasper Hamilton some say its 20ml/litre some say its 40ml of engine oil /litre of petrol there is a time in which your engine first 450 miles will use ratio 16:1 and after 450 miles the ratio will change to 20:1 im also confussed some says different ratio but i told you the ratio of motorized engine company.
How do you do it when you're measuring the fuel as millilitres? I have no idea how to measure the amount of gasoline in the my Jerry can all I have is a crappy mixing bottle that came with my snowblower that only goes up to 600 ml
@@TEKKKNO It's difficult for someone who does not want to use metric because the American system is not decimal. One gallon is 4 quarts so 0.264 gallon is about 1 quart.

It recently occurred to me to get an accurate mixture ratio that you would need to subtract the amount of oil...for example if I'm mixing 20 liters of gas at 40 to 1 then I should add 19.5 liters of gas (Not 20 liters) to 500 ml of oil, this way I have 20 liters of gas oil mix total and 1 fortieth of that is oil. Am I wrong, looking for insight on this, thanks and regards.
no, because the 40 to 1 ratio means you use 40 parts gasoline, and 1 part oil. if you want to achieve a certain percentage of oil in your premix however you are correct, but in that case the difference is so small that it doesn't really matter. for example if you're aiming for a 2% ratio of oil in 20 liters of gasoline and add 400 ml of oil according to the 50:1 ratio you will end up with 1.9608% oil in the gasoline, the total difference is 0.0392%.

This video made me look like way less of an idiot at the pump. Thanks.
For us 'mericans (who don't realize all the gas cans have both Imperial and Metric units on them, so Chris' nifty trick will work just fine for us) and want to work with gallons and ounces just multiply the gallon figure by 2.6 to get the oz of 2-cycle oil to add:
1 gal gas * 2.6 = 2.6 oz oil
1/2 gal gas * 2.6 = 1.3 oz oil
5 gal gas * 2.6 = 13 oz oil
etc.
For us in the US there are 128 oz. in a gallon. So divide 128 by 50 to get 2.6 Oz of oil. No need to use common core math to calculate this.
Thank you Chris - seems so simple now that it is explained.
my man! bro I was loosing my mind trying to figure it out lol thanks bro!!

Thank you very much sir!!!
Clear as mud. Don't forget in hot weather you will need to add a tad more oil.
This would be great if I lived in a foreign country. Now do it in US measurements.
This would be horrible if it was done in US measurements because I live in Europe 😂
I will ditto the previous lad, because he said exactly what I wanted to.

Thanks very much, explained very well making life straight forward 👍🙂
Just divide the ml to the ratio, eg: 5000ml fuel / 50 ratio = 100ml of oil.
5000ml / 25 ratio = 200ml of oil
3000ml of fuel / 30 ratio = 100ml of oil.
yeah, just convert L into mL and divide the ratio of Liters (the 2 digit) to get the oil in mL. Works on every ratio
Wow that's awesome 👌thanks for the info /so simple 😀
Im not trying to build an intergalactic starship. I just wanna mow the lawn.

In the US use 2.6oz of 2 cycle oil for each gal of unleaded gas. Simple. Now to measure out 2.6oz ...

Brilliant. I assume you double up for 100:1 fuel to oil ratio.
If you doubled it up, it would be 25:1. So for 100:1 you would half it further from 20ml, which would make it 10ml per litre.
METRIC
25:1 Add 40 ml of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gas.
50:1 Add 20 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gas.
100:1 Add 10 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gas.
US
25:1 Add 5.2 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gas.
50:1 Add 2.6 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gas.
100:1 Add 1.3 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gas.
