Rather than have another gas can sitting around, I'm thinking of making a 45/1 mix and using it for both. Will that be safe? I would say yes but consult your owners manualoand call your manufacturers, and check with a small engine shop, and google your query. You'll be surprised at the number of different answers you get. Yup, I did the google thing and found that most folks don't understand the meaning of a ratio. If there is no smoke, you need more oil in the gas can. If there is a lot of smoke, you need more gas in the gas can. BUT.... too much oil = fouled plug. |
