50:1 Fuel to oil ratio ● easy way to calculate

It's easy to calculate 50:1 fuel to oil ratio in your head. You don't need a calculator, it's that easy. It will perform at its best if the 2 stroke oil ratio is right. Simple calculation for your 2 stroke gas engine premix.

US
25:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 5.2 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gasoline.
32:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 4 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gasoline.
40:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 3.2 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gasoline.
50:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 2.6 oz. of 2-cycle oil into one gallon of gasoline.

METRIC
25:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 40 ml of 2-cycle oil into LITRE of gasoline.
32:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 31.25 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gasoline.
40:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 25 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gasoline.
50:1 gasoline to oil ratio. Add 20 mL of 2-cycle oil into one LITRE of gasoline.

This would be great if I lived in a foreign country. Now do it in US measurements.

THAAAANK YOUUUU! i was looking for this.. So many youtubers just beat around the bush instead of simplifying it... You are the best

[johnkozarevich]

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.

This video made me look like way less of an idiot at the pump. Thanks.

my man! bro I was loosing my mind trying to figure it out lol thanks bro!!

[AJRestoration]

This is awesome! I really needed this haha.

[andyanderson]

after years of not knowing how to, you explained it in the first 20 seconds, great teaching thanks

[williamkeith]

Thank you Chris - seems so simple now that it is explained.

[MrPDGee]

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.

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.

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.

[dentaldickwad]

It's an awesome video! Thank you so much.

Just for everyone to update their knowledge, ratios are just fractions 50:1 is also expressed as 1/50= 0.02.
And its the same for any ratio.

Use 0.02 multiply it by the volume of fuel in say mL in this case 5000mL = 100.

Very very clear video I didn't understand why the chap x2 but now I get it..

keep having to find this video for every boating season as i keep forgetting...so simple..thank you.

[Charles-Windsor]

EXCELLENT VIDEO
Thank you very much sir!!!

[wayneberry]

This is the way I’ve done it for years, Chris 👍🏼…. Great work mate. Another way to make it easy is 20 mil per litre…

[Sharakomusic]

Im not trying to build an intergalactic starship. I just wanna mow the lawn.

[michaelparker]

I’m a stupid old man and do not understand the metric system. Just as a common courtesy you could have helped us out. Kind regards!

[kachiskid]

Chris, Thank you so much.... 76.0ml for every gallon of gas...you my friend are a genius.

[bgower]

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.

Short, Simple, to the point. Thanks mate
