question about The Hose thats in the middle of the gas tank
Okay simple question, what is the hose connected to? IF i was to send premix thru that hose, would it make it to the tank. My plan is to connect that hose to a washer pump and switch so that i can premix by pressing a button. Pic is an example, i do not have my tank removed to check
May be it's pressure sensitive, but thought it was the rollover/vent valve, meaning it's open to allow
the fumes to get to the charcoal canister but on a rollover it would shut and not allow fuel to spill.
Blow through the hose to see if air enters the tank.
Regardless, I wouldn't use it for another application as the tank needs to vent.

Probably the easiest place to tie into would be the fill neck vent tube (right next to the big fill port on the right).
Also, I'd be leery of a washer pump as it's designed to push thinner, less viscous water instead of oil.
Might work, but I'd check it out first.

I'd wonder how you meter the oil quantity going into the tank.

I can't say I've been convinced by previous attempts/discussion of this subject.
The stock system is invisible to the operator, requires no regular maintenance.
But, you say, the OMP can be problematic (especially on the S5), the oil distribution is awful and the oil itself is wrong.
Agree on all counts, premix is absolutely superior in all respects...except operator convenience because it does require you add the oil yourself. Frankly, I don't see that as much of an issue, you're already right there pumping in gas anyway.
BUT I take issue with complicating a process whose main advantage is absolute reliability and simplicity (you dump oil in the gas, if the engine is getting fuel it's getting oil too, no question).
When you press the button how certain are you that the correct (if any?) oil was injected?
And you now have a reservoir to monitor, presumably somewhere in the hatch/spare tire well area, which is kinda out of the way.
Seems like you're overthinking/engineering this.

Why not utilize the rear wiper washer bottle? Assuming the pump can take it.. fill it up and measure out what it holds.. then make graduating marks in one ounce intervals on the side of the bottle. Maybe place the switch near the bottle itself. Get gas, open tire compartment, push button and observe level. I would think you could theoretically make your own new hole in the tank for the two stroke to **** in through...
Or you could just premix the same way most everyone else does, and not complicate things lol

I'm only playing around with this idea because its something I've been wanting to try. Imagine pulling up for gas, pressing a button for x amount of seconds and get gas. over here in new jersey you don't pump your own gas. it wouldn't even be necessary to get out the car. no added time, no measuring, no mess, funnels etc.
You'd have to press the button and measure the oil (timing the pump is measuring, is it not?) after you filled with gas or how would you know how much to add?
I premixed for a few weeks as an experiment and think you exaggerate the procedure...it's not particularly messy or time consuming. In fact, I could see that over the long haul, the only real concern would be ensuring you always had oil on hand.
