correct mixing ratio. When mixing small
amounts of fuel, even small differences can
have a significant effect on blending.

amount of oil into the fuel container, and shake the
container to mix them.
Note: Always use clean fuel containers when mixing
gasoline and oil.
2. Add the remaining gasoline and shake to mix.
CAUTION: Do not make more than one
month's worth of mixed fuel at one time.
