Re: fuel mixture ratio

What motor are you working on? Do you mean 50/1? Walmart sells a 2 stroke mixture bottle its very easy to use. To mix 6 gallons of gas at 50:1, fill oil to 6.0 gallon mark under 50:1 ratio.

Re: fuel mixture ratio

i dont know if i understand your question but if your motor calls for 24 to 1 thats what you need to use,,if it calls for 50 to1,you use that,,,,,,,what kind of motor and what year?the 24 to 1 was used till early 60s,,,then 50 to 1 for later mods ,,,make sure you use tcw-3, 2 stroke outboard oil to mix,,,,50 to 1 is 16oz to six gal ,the oil usually has a conversion chart on the back of the bottle telling you how much oil to gas ,for whatever ratio youre trying to acheive

Just use the 24:1 mix ... it won't harm anything.

If you want to make 24:1 into 50:1 just double the gas. 24 times 2 equals 48 which is close enough to 50.

I think he has a tank of gas that is 24:1 and wants to add gas to make it 50:1.
Just run it at 24:1, wont hurt a think. may smoke a bit.

I agree with you, I would just run it, but the answer was easy enough if he has something else in mind.

If I understand question right I 2nd Doug's answer. Just add an equal amount of gas to what you have now. Doubling the gas 1/2's the oil mix taking it from 24:1 to 50:1 (close enough anyway).

1 gallon of your 24:1 mix + 1 gallon of gasoline will be as near as will make no difference.
