I would suggest no less than 12 oz and no more than 16oz to a full tank. I don't fill up until after the Low Fuel light has lit.

The usual suggested mix is 1 oz oil per gallon of gas. I usually try to fill up near empty, so then I can drop in 1/2 quart (16 oz) into the tank.

Also, pour in the oil before you pump the gas so it mixes well, and the gas will wash down the oil in the fill-up pipe.

I had a big turky-bastin surenge kinna thing that measured onces. I would estimate how much gas I would need...obviously if you're at half a tank you're gonna need at least 7oz...and use the surenge to Squirt it in there then fill up. After filling up I would add however much I still needed and then top the tank off.


oh...ooops...1oz. per gallon is recomended.

You can run as "rich" as 75:1 and nothing less than 200:1 with just the pre-mix (no stock oil injection).&nbsp Running richer than 75:1 will cause a smoky exhaust...
