How to Mix Oil and Gas: The 2-Cycle Engine Fuel Recipe
If your outdoor equipment has a 2-cycle engine, it runs on a mixture of oil and gas. Here’s how to properly mix the fuel.
Step 1: Determine the proper mixing ratio for your unit.
This ratio indicates how much fresh, regular unleaded gasoline (containing no more than 10% ethanol) to mix with how much oil. For all Remington 2-cycle products, the ratio is 40:1. This means you’ll want to add 3.2 oz of oil to every gallon of gasoline. (See table below.)
Your equipment may vary, so always check your manual for the correct ratio and detailed instructions.
Step 2: Mix fuel in the gas can.
Never in the fuel tank.
Step 3: Pour the mixed fuel into the tank.
You’re all set. Use the same fuel mix ratio and repeat the process next time you need to fuel up.
