Premix calculator

Here is a link to a site that has a handy premix calculator.
just put in the number of gallons for gas, what ratio you desire and it tells you how much oil to add.

If you want to use your cell phone look at available free apps to see what you can get. I've got a droid and have a great free app called gas/oil mix calculator. Got it from the droid market, I'm sure most phones have something similar available.

Are you serious?

Give your brains a chance! Calculating the volume of oil required is done faster in your head than it takes to unlock your phone!



An example. I want 3% premix in 68.4 litres of fuel. Just move the "." two steps left to get 1% which in this case becomes approximately 0.7L. To get 3% just multiply 0.7 w 3 and voila you need to add 2.1L of oil..

This method is not 100% mathematically correct but when dealing with relatively small oil mixing ratios its perfectly adequate.

Simplify the numbers, your engine will not notice the difference between 2.8 and 2.84%!

Try ounces and gallons. Not so easy.
