2 stroke strimmer

[clairey92]

Can I put 2 stroke oil into unleaded petrol and if so what would the ratio be?

[Clanad]

Sure, but the ratio is dependant on the requirements of the machine. Most are 50 to 1...

Thank you Clanad

All our strimmers, mowers and other 2 stroke machines at work are 25:1. Don't know if that's any help !!!

Well I would choose 25:1 as a safe ratio which many two stroke engines will accept without any problems on the basis of a bit more oil is safer than a bit less.

Thanks everyone - I am assuming though I can put the unleaded petrol/2 stroke oil into a strimmer which normally takes leaded petrol.

The leaded/unleaded question only comes into the situation if it is a four stroke engine with valves which might wear out faster using unleaded fuel.

With a two stroke engine it should make no difference at all.
