When to premix

Now this probably sounds like a really basic question...

When you premix, do you guys just pour the oil down the gas spout after you fill up or do you actually premix in a separate container before putting it in the car?

If you just put it down the spout, I'm assuming that it mixes well enough in the tank before it gets to the engine?

Thanks.

Put it in before the gas.

Are you running an OMP?

No, had to get rid of the OMP. So I just guess at how much gas I'm going to be putting in?

Pretty much.

Based on what I've read, you want a 100:1 ratio, so about 1.5 oz's premix per gallon.

Awesome, thanks... Amazingly enough I can find tons of posts on how much oil to add and whatnot but never when to add it.

Appreciate it.

I have run premix for over a year and everything is fine so far. I add 1oz to every gallon of gas. I pour it in before the gas that way it mixes as the gas goes in. I have a few friends that have been doing it as well so that's why I started...
