Straight gassing !

[OM617YOTA]

Well marked can. Oil goes in as soon as it's empty, so it's mixed fuel the instant fuel is added. I've even added oil when I was using it to get fuel for a four stroke engine because that was the only fuel can I had with me. Stuff happens, and I'd rather run a few ounces of two stroke oil through a four stroke than accidentally run straight gas in a two stroke.

I only fuel my engines with my fuel that I mixed, I don't trust anyone else's mix. They might be running a more careful mix than me, but they also might be running a glug or two of a partial quart of marine two cycle oil from 1973 that they got at a garage sale for a nickel. Or no oil at all. At least if I burn down my saw it's on me.

You reminded me that another little trick I employ is that the four stroke tin is in a harder place to access than the two stroke tin. I have to consciously move stuff out of the way to get to it. Two stroke tin is just sitting there in plain view, ready to go.

...they also might be running a glug or two of a partial quart of marine two cycle oil from 1973 that they got at a garage sale for a nickel...

That's a good one, and has come up a few times. "Hey, I've got some two stroke oil sitting in the garage from the boat we used to have. I'll use that!"

Ooooooh no, that won't be happening.

Having seen units coming that have straight gas in tank but customer could not get started( thankfully I tell them afterwards) . I have always gotten into habit of looking for mix colour when checking for fuel in tank before I start it, and as I pour new fuel in tank (even if I have just mixed it myself)

spend 85 bucks on a husqvarna combi can....never had a issue before but now I have mixed fuel and bar oil ready at all times...to make it even more fool proof I use the screw off cap nozel on the bar oil side and the push to fuel on the other. When working with others mine gets used and their fuel tanks get put up, no confusion and its faster/easier to carry and fuel than dealing with 2 containers. Its also worth mentioning I almost never spill fuel unless a saw gets kicked or picked up with the caps off... I have stored non e mix for over 6 months at a time in it without fuel issues!
