Question from Cindy: How much gas and oil do you put in a 1.7 litre jug at a 50:1 ratio? |
Hi Cindy.
50 parts are gas and 1 part is oil. So you have 50/51 gas and 1/51 oil.
1.7 litre x (1/51) = 33.3 ml
I'd start with 33.3 ml of oil (roughly) and then add gas until the container is full.
Cheers,
Stephen La Rocque.
