Weed eaters are an excellent two-cycle engine oil garden tool that homeowners can use,however,engines require a mix of gas and oil for them to function smoothly. Straight gasoline can harm the engine and leave it damaged or even dead,so the owners of weed eaters must mix fuel before each use. If you’ve got the right ratio,mixing gasoline and oil can be quite simple. The most effective way to determine which ratio is right for your particular weed eater is to refer to the manual that came with the unit. The manufacturer stamps the ratio on either the gas cap or the tank. If you cannot find it,refer to the manual.

Start with a 50:1 ratio which equals 1 US gallon of gasoline and 2.6 fl. This ratio is typically used for weed wackers and other small 2-cycle engines. This is the standard ratio for small 2-cycle engines and herbicides. When buying the gasoline and oil,make sure you choose a container specifically made for the purpose. This will minimize the chance of evaporation or spills and will prevent leaks. It is recommended to select an alcohol-free gasoline,which is less prone to moisture and safeguard your engine more than regular gasoline.

It’s cheaper to create your own weed eater mixture than buy it from the retailer. Mixing oil can be purchased in bottles that are labeled with the specific concentration that you require,which makes measuring much easier. If you’re looking for a mix of 50/1,seek out a bottle marked “50/1 oil/fuel mix”. If you shake the container to mix gas and oil,make sure it is thoroughly mixed. Be sure not to overfill the container because it could result in the engine becoming overheated.

Once the gas from the weed eater and oil have been mixed,it must be stored in a dry,cool place. Add a fuel stabiliser to the mix to allow it to last longer.
