Gas Mixture Question

Just keep one fiver with you and mix your oil in the last five of gas you put in. So you're saying that fiver is super rich? You just want to get the oil mixed with some gas, then when that's added to your tank it will mix easier than just dumping the oil into the tank.

I ran out of gas one time and when I went to fill up I put oil in first.The motor wouldn't fire because the gas line was full of oil.

I am running Mercs Hi-perf. blend now but it smokes like a mother. I guess I can live with the smoke over rebuilding motors.

I'm telling you redline is the best oil period. I've run merc hi perf, its good but not the same as redline. Even Joe at DCB recommends redline of merc. And Joe knows his stuff.

Never made it. I guess you already figured that out. I really wanted to go but just never found the time. Toby- check your e-mail, I'm looking for a quad need a hook-up. Oh yeah well my dad says redline is better than merc

The argument over which oil is best is an old one that never gets resolved. All I will say, is use a top flight synthetic lube and mix it 32:1. Personally, I use Klotz, but I won't push it on you because I think the Merc stuff is good too.
A 32:1 ratio is equal to four ounces per gallon. Five gallons is 20 ounces of oil. I use a measuring cup when I fuel up and pour the oil and gas into the tank at the same time. Yes, it is a little more of a pain in the ass, but it works form me. Good Luck

Barney is totally right. Run Merc oil and avgas and U won't have a problem. My $.02 after 10 years at Lakeland Marine working with Lew.
