what does it mean wen they say fuel mix 1:25 and how do i mix it?

Question

i am 13 and i have just got a mini moto 49 cc and it says oil and petrol mix 1:25 how do i do this? somone help

Answer 1

1 part 2-cycle oil to 25 parts gasoline. The 2-cycle oil will have a chart on the label.

Answer 2

Your mini moto has a two-cycle engine, and like all engines, it must be constantly lubricated. This is done by mixing two-cycle oil with the gasoline (petrol) in the ratio of one part oil to 25 parts of petrol. Your use of the word "petrol" implies that your country uses the Imperial measure system, quarts, pints, gallons, etc. A quart is 40 ounces, a gallon is 160. If you have a one-gallon container, try not to fill it up to the top, but leave enough room for 6 ounces of oil. (150 ounces of petrol will need that much oil for the mixture.) After pouring in the oil, seal the container and tip it back and forth a few times to mix the oil and petrol. Then you can pour the mix into your mini moto's gas tank. A two-gallon container will need 12 ounces, and so on.

Heh, mixing proper gasoline-to-oil is a mixed-up things. Do you want to make it REAL easy? Go visit a motorcycle dealership, they have these neat funnel-cups that hold about a quart of fluid, and they have all the graduations on them, from 1:52 down to 1:8 or something ( I just bought one not too long ago, for my weed-wackers / chain saw mixing ). Guy at Home Depot told me about about them, it makes mixing the proper amount of oil with gasoline VERY easy. You fill it to the marked level of 1:25 with gas, then add the ounces it says on top ( 1, 1.5, 2, etc. ). Pretty slick item! The only other way to do it is to take a GLASS 16 ounce bottle, fill it up once, empty it into a gas can. then fill it up halfway again, dump it into the gas can ( 24 ounces ), then dump in 1 ounce of oil. That'll get you close to 25:1 mix. Or, go buy the mixing funnel-cup, it's about $8, and will be worth every PENNY, if you don't burn up your new scooter by having the incorrect fuel mix ( very possible, and expensive ). Have fun! - The Gremlin Guy -

The 1:25 is the ratio of fuel to oil.the 1= 1 part of oil to 25 parts of gas.Most two stroke oil mixes are on a label on the back of container,ie:Castrol two stroke oil has a graph on the back of the container for various ratio's from 1:60 right down to 1:16 yours will be in there somewhere,they usually base it on 1Gallon of petrol

Answer 5

This means you mix one part two-stroke oil to twenty-five parts gasoline. The easiest way is to buy your two-stroke oil in a premeasured container (or at least one that has marked amount gradients on the outside) and buying a two or five gallon can for gas. Then, pour one part oil and multiply that by twenty-five and add that amount of gasoline. Always do it in this manner, as the oil will mix more thoroughly with the gas, preventing engine damage. Using too little oil will result in serious engine damage, including seized pistons. Using too much is almost as bad as using too little oil, as that will only foul your spark plug, gum up the carburetor and foul the fuel lines. Always mix carefully and outdoors as gas vapors are explosive and harmful if inhaled. Good luck.

Answer 6

You have to put oil in the gasoline to lubricate the engine use a plastic oil measuring funnel available at home depot for weed eater 2 stroke engines that means 25 gallons of gasoline to one gallon of oil or the same ratio of oil to fuel in lesser size container. Only mix up what you can use in a month. You can buy premeasured little bottles in 25 to one gallon 50 to one gallon and 30 to 1 at lawn mower shops. My chain saw uses 25 to one. I only mix into a one gallon red gas can. Do all gasoline mixing and filling out side and away from possable source of ingnition gas water heaters and allow the bike to cool, spilled fuel on hot motor can catch fire.

Answer 7

Yes, 32 or 33:1 (30ml of oil per litre of petrol)

Answer 8

almost alll of the fuel mixes have a mixture that you need to follow. you cannot add too much but not enough is not good.
