how mush am i supose to premix the gas if i am not running my oil injectors.

 

I use about 4oz's every 6 gallons

I don't think anyone has a exact answer alot of people recomend 1oz per gallon

also if you search for premixing you'll get alot of results

 

Buy pre-mix - I like Valvoline "Multi-Use" pre-mix in the dark blue bottle available at most auto parts stores - I know Kragen / Schucks / Checkers carries it.
This would help a lot - get a funnel to insert into your gas tank filler - Wal*Mart carries a nice one for like $1.50.
Pour the appropriate amount of premix before you fill your gas - 16 oz. or half a quart is good for most FC's.
Top the tank off with gasoline.
It would help to drain the gas tank to under 1 / 4 tank everytime you do this to get a consistent ratio.

Most people run around 100:1 ratio (gas to oil). I wouldn't go much higher than 125:1, and under 75:1 would be excessive. Look in the 2nd Gen archives, theres an entire thread on premix. The title is something along the lines of "to premix or not"

 

100:1 Is 8 Oz Per 6 Gal,, Simple

 

thank you ill try it and see how it goes

 

I just use the old 1oz per gallon formula.

 

^^^^ that is what I do.

 

ditto, then i **** in the tank for a little extra kick!

does it work?

 

How about the general logistics of it? How do you personally (anyone) carry premix, and measure it each time? I bought a large jug of TCW-3 oil from a marine supply store that I use.

I used to use this small 8 oz. pennzoil bottles, and just refilled them, but they would always leak and make a mess. Is there an easy way to carry a useful amount of oil in a refillable, measurable (see through the sides perhaps) container, that won't leak? Where could I find such a thing?

 

with all the kerosene/carb cleaner in my body i wouldn't doubt it.

 

I use small bottles from other oils. Such as a 16oz. bottle of Penzoil 2-Stroke. It has a see through side and resealable top.

To keep my fuel flapper open, I stick a screwdriver in it. Ghetto... but it works.

 

I usually buy the Valvoline Multi-Use pre-mix in the gallon jug.
I have a quart bottle of the same stuff that I use to measure.
Although it's a quart bottle, it has that translucent side stripe that you can tell the fluid level - I just empty half of the bottle each fill-up.
I also have one of those $1.50 funnels from Wal-Mart - keeps the mess down to a minimum.

Open gas cap, insert funnel, pour pre-mix.
Carefully squirt gasoline from nozzle to wash the funnel down - remove funnel.
Top off tank.

If I need to fill the quart bottle with the gallon jog, I use the same funnel.

Damn, good idea. I'm going to do that from now on.

I guess I just need to find a bottle that seals better, I like the translucent side on the oil bottles.

I also carry a roll of paper towels in one of my storage bins, it really helps when you're trying to stay clean. Handy for other things on the road as well; I like to keep my glass clean.

 

Yep, I keep a rag to keep the funnel clean and to keep any drips off the car.

I keep a couple rags and a roll of paper towels.
