how to compute oil mix ratio with partially filled gas can
How do I add gas and oil to a gas can half-filled with 50:1 mixture so
that it stays 50:1? For example: I have a 10 gallon can on my boat filled a little more than half way with of 50:1 mix. I can't tell exactly how much 50:1 mix is in the can. I am at a gas station and want to top off the can and yet keep the mix at 50:1. How would you do this? Here are some possibilities I can see: 1. Put in a known quantity of gas that stops short of filling up the tank. Calculate how much oil is needed for that known quantity of gas. Add the oil, shake the can. Accept how much empty space there is at the top of the can. 2. Fill up a another can with maybe 6 gallons of gas and add the correct amount of oil (5/8 of a cup,.. or 10 tablespoons maybe). Shake up the can and pour it into the 10-gallon can. Any ideas? Thanks Mel mricflo at dr dot com |
