Step by Step Premixing 2-Stroke Oil and Petrol

Step 1.

Make sure your mesuare bottle is clean. You always want to have fresh fuel and not some fuel that has been sitting around for a month or two.

Step 2.

Use name brand 2-Stroke premix oil.

Step 3.

Follow the ratio of petrol to oil, usually found on the mesuare bottle or manual included with your bike. Polini engines use a 50 to 1 ratio, which means 50 parts fuel and 1 part oil. The chart on the back of the 2-stroke oil container should show the amount of oil necessary to mix in either a 1 gallon container or a 5 gallon container.

Step 4.

Pour the 2-stroke oil into the measuring cup stopping at the exact amount that was indicated by the 2-stroke oil manufacturer.

Step 5.

Pour the oil into the fuel container. It is recommended to start with an empty fuel container so the fuel to oil ratio will be accurate.

Step 6.

Make sure you use premium fuel only when filling the container. I would recommend filling the container half way at first so you can give it a good shake to help mix the oil and gas. Once you've given it a good mix, go ahead and finish filling it, either to the appropriate level marked on the container or by the pump meter.

Step 7.

The picture below is giving an example of mixing the oil and fuel once more by gently shaking it with the container completely sealed.

Step 8.

Now you're ready to fill your Pocketbike. Try not to spill any on the Pocketbike plastic. The fuel may eventually discolor your paint or may even remove it.
