The ratio of oil and gasoline for two-stroke engines: the proportions of the mixture

the main / Butter

The ratio of oil and gasoline is the main type of fuel for two-stroke engines. The fuel mixture ensures productive operation of the motor, helps to preserve its driving parts and reduce the amount of breakage. Correct the fuel mixture correctly - it is not always easy. It is necessary to correctly calculate the proportions, mix the liquids and properly store the finished mixture. Some drivers use their own recipes by adding their "secret" ingredients, among which may even be a soda. In order for the preparation of the fuel mixture to be a problem, you need to adhere to a few simple rules and follow the instructions from the manufacturer.

Fuel and oil for cooking

For the preparation of the mixture use standard gasoline and oil from various manufacturers. What brand gasoline should be used to prepare the oil fuel mixture? Some mistakenly believe that the gasoline of the 80th mark is best suited, because there are many different additives. This is partly true, but it does not make it better than gasoline 92nd and 95th brands.

Moreover, get the gasoline of the 80th brand in Russia is very difficult, because not one major fuel producer in the country now does not release it. Therefore, the best option is the gasoline of the 95th brand, which has the almost the same cost as the gasoline of the 92nd brand.

What kind of oil is best suited for the preparation of the mixture? It all depends on the driver's preferences in one or another manufacturer. The only thing is important to use oil only for purpose. If the oil for the tractor or boat is not worth it for the car.

Rules for cooking fuel mixture

The process of cooking the fuel mixture should be started with a detailed acquaintance with the instructions attached to it. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, some drivers possessing, in their opinion, incredible experience, do everything "on the eye." Of course, over time, every driver knows how and what needs to be done, but each mixture has its differences, so I will never know the tips from the manufacturer.

The main rules of operation of the fuel mixture include:

In no case to reduce the proportions of oil in relation to gasoline. Oil is an expensive component, so many decide on it to save. However, the insufficient amount of oil in the mixture leads to a strong heating of the piston and the engine cylinder. Because of this, there are bumps, which ultimately leads to the need for serious repairs.
Do not use too much butter in relation to gasoline. An increase in oil proportions is also destructive for engine operation. An excessive amount of oil leads to an increase in nagar and the rapid wear of the motor mechanism. Repairs in this case will cost as expensive as in the first case.
You can not store the cooked mixture longer than 30 days. Otherwise, it loses its properties and the use of such a mixture, can harm the engine.
It is impossible to make dirt, dust and other mechanical garbage, due to which the engine can come into disrepair.

Proportions and mixing process

How to determine the proportions for mixing oil with gasoline? Standard proportions must be indicated on oil tanks. The amount of oil used may differ depending on the manufacturer, however, the proportions 1:40 or 1:50 are often used. A small deviation is allowed from such a relationship - this will not affect serious consequences.

Having determined the exact proportions, you need to move to the direct preparation of the mixture. What can this be done? For this, different containers are suitable. Important: In no case cannot be mixed with oil with oil directly in the gas tank, pouring one liquid in turn after another - the mixture is always prepared separately and only then slowly poured into the benzobac.

For mixing, you can use a variety of devices, including:

Special containers for mixing. These are convenient canisters with two separate response - separately for gasoline and oil. To prepare the mixture in such a container, you only need to pour the desired amount of fluid, close the tank and tilt the canister several times. Such adaptations are very comfortable, however, they cost quite expensive. If a mixture has to mix quite often, then it is worth thinking about the acquisition of such a container.
Conventional metal and plastic cans. Standard canisters are the most practical devices. It is only worth being attentive when using plastic and glass canisters, because when using them there is a possibility of discharge of electricity. If you need to prepare a small amount of the mixture, you can use a conventional plastic bottle.
Screw agents. To save money, many use sweater devices, such as children's horns and even syringes. Such funds are not very comfortable, but there are a penny.

How and what to keep a ready mix?

Manufacturers recommend to store the fuel mixture in a clean capacity, best in metallic. In no case cannot leave the mixture under the right sunlight, because it will lead not only to the loss of its properties, but also to other very unpleasant consequences. The maximum shelf life of the finished mixture is 30 days.

Depending on the frequency of the car's use, some drivers prepare a mixture once a week, others - once a month. Of course, not every owner has time to constantly measure the proportions and mix fuel with oil. It is important to remember that the "fresh" mix - the better it is for the engine.

Many as containers for storing the mixture use plastic cans and bottles. It is convenient and practical. For a small plastic bottle there is always a place. However, it should be careful. The fact is that with long-term storage in a plastic container, the fuel mixture in the literal sense can "go" the hole in it. The process of corrosion of plastic passes very quickly. Therefore, it is best to use a metal container.

Perhaps it is not so comfortable, but it is more reliable. If there is still a need to use a plastic canister, then remember that the mixture can be stored in it at no more than two to three days. Next, it needs to be pouring into another container.

Signs of misuse

The use of contaminated or disproportionate mixture may result in serious malfunctions in the engine operation. If you are mistaken with mixing - nothing terrible, because the car himself will tell you about it. You only need to be attentive to some features, including:

The appearance of dirt and various deposits on the carburetor.
Fast pollution of the fuel filter located in the gas tank.
The oxidation of the walls of the carburetor and the loss of the elasticity of the rubber diaphragm in various parts of the gas tank. This feature is manifested only with long-term storage of an unsuitable mixture directly in the gas tank car.

The formation of resinous sediments in the area of \u200b\u200bthe carburetor.

With the slightest manifestation of one of the signs, it is necessary to make changes to the mixing process, followed by more appropriate proportions. In this way, you can choose the perfect fuel mixture and avoid serious disorders in the engine.

To independently prepare the right fuel mixture, which will ensure the perfect engine performance, it is necessary to use a suitable fuel, to clearly adhere to the manufacturer of the proportions, use the appropriate capacity and store a ready-made mixture no longer than 30 days. Holding to these rules, you prepare the perfect mixture for the engine of your car.
