What is the fuel mix for a STIHL strimmer?
Most STIHL gasoline-powered equipment runs on a 50:1 mixture of gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil. Knowing the proper way to mix your fuel is the first step in keeping it running strong and long. For example, if you need to mix 5 litres of 2-stroke fuel at a 50:1 ratio, you will need 5 litres of petrol and 100ml of oil. To correctly mix to this ratio you will need a means of measuring both 5 litres of petrol and 100ml of 2-stroke oil. This could be: a 5 litre can and a separate 100ml measuring jug.The recommended ratio of fuel mix is 1 part oil to 50 parts petrol. For example, if you are using 5L of petrol, you will need 0. L (100ml) of 2 Stroke Oil. To mix the fuel, pour the 2 Stroke engine oil into a mixing can that is approved for use with fuel, then add the petrol.
What is the mix for STIHL 2-stroke petrol?
The correct mix ratio for a STIHL chainsaw is 50 parts petrol to one part engine oil, preferably STIHL 2-stroke engine oil. You can mix this yourself – for 5 L of petrol you need to add 100 ml of engine oil – or buy the ready-mixed STIHL MotoMix. Different equipment manufacturers recommend different oil mix ratios, complicating matters. Most modern chainsaws, string trimmers, leaf blowers and other small-engine two-stroke equipment recommend a 50:1 oil mix ratio, but some recommend 40:1 and older two-stroke equipment might even call for 32:1.
What is the ratio for 2-stroke fuel mix?
What is the ratio for 2-stroke fuel mix? Most modern petrol garden machinery requires a 50:1 ratio mix of petrol to oil. This means for every 1 litre of petrol you must mix 20ml of oil. Two-stroke engines require a blend of gasoline and oil for proper lubrication. The right balance is crucial: too little oil (a lean mix) can lead to insufficient lubrication and potential engine damage, while too much oil (a rich mix) might cause smokey exhaust, fouled spark plugs, and unwanted deposits.WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU USE THE WRONG MIXTURE RATIO IN A 2-STROKE ENGINE? If the mix has too much oil, it can generate additional carbon buildup (making it hard to start the engine), cause excessive smoke, and result in fouled spark plugs.
