Re: The right mix ?

You are correct, 2-stroke mixing is done with volumes; 1 liter fuel is mixed with 20 ml oil. For this the left scale (2%) on the second photo should be used. Take an amount of fuel in liters and fill the jug with oil up to the corresponding number.
The typical specific gravity of 2-stroke oil is 875 grams/liter which matches pretty much the scale on your first photo. I've no idea who wants to know the oil's weight.

Re: The right mix ?

its much easier than talking about specific gravity of liquids. 50L of fuel and one liter of oil. 25L of fuel to 500ml of oil, 12.5L of fuel to 250mL of oil, 6.25L of fuel to 125ml of oil etc etc. it doesnt have to be that exact, nor rocket science. just add a few more drops when mixing smaller amounts. ( id take that thing back you have and just get a kitchen measuring cup if you are buying oil in bulk, if not it is usually marked at 100ml intervals on the side of a 1L container of oil.
