OK I will sort of set this up. This years I started it off by adding a second 6 gallon tank with the idea of running the oil mix in 6 gallon batches. I bought 8 16 oz bottles of 2 stroke oil so when I fill up its a dump a bottle in and add 6 gallons and back to fishing. No measuring no fuss. I ran through those bottles and it went fine.
My idea was from then on to buy it by the gallon and refill the 16 oz bottles and I did using a kitchen measuring cup and ran into a small problem the last bottle was about 8 oz short. And I noticed I had a bit of extra bug smoke.
This time around I bought one of the shoreline 2 stroke measuring bottles thinking their was some difference in the volume of 2 stroke oil. So this time around I used the 50:1 scale on the bottle and on the last bottle I ended up with 4 oz left. Dumped that back into the gallon jug and poured one of the ones I had just filled back into the shoreline bottle and looked at the oz scale to find it it was 1/2 oz short. So I went through ever one of the refilled bottles and added enough to get the 16 oz on the scale and on the last bottle I may of had a 1/2 oz left.
Just thought I would toss this out there. I know a lot of people use the oil injected motors these days :facepalm: but a lot still do their own fuel mixtures to.
