myuserid Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I recently purchased one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=190162976940 I add the 1ltr of fuel, then the oil (50:1), once I shake the fuel and oil the reading is below the 50:1 mark. Do I have to top the oil up again to the 50:1 mark or leave it :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stiv24 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'd say leave it. The oil lines on the container 50/1 25/1 etc relate to the amount of fuel in the container. Mix it up and use it until empty and then start again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJaxeman Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Its better to be slightly over than under at worst it will oil the plug up (just a routine to get into as said wont make that much difference with that quantity) . And whats wrong with a 5ltr fuel can and a a Stihl One shot alot easier and you get the right measure every time 50:1 that is. Even better get a combi can one side for chain oil the other petrol oil mix. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
