Australia's where they say you can call your mate a c*nt and your c*nt your mate!

A good Greek mate of mine who owned a hotel in greece on Rhodos always called me malaka, I thought he was calling me a wxxxer but it also means friend, I asked him which I was and he used to just laugh, sadly he got killed in a motorcycle accident.
I love the C word!

The one thing which annoys me is some do not mix the mix very well plus not many shake the mix container before refueling the chainsaw when the fuel and mix has not been used for a time.

We adopted the metric system in 1975!* We use it for engine displacement, nuts and bolts, and soda. That's about it really. That's when we realized we'd rather keep the system we liked.

I refuse to pay the ridiculous premium for the little airline bottles of whiskey or 2-stroke oil.
If you still want the convenience of measuring, buy a bottle like:

this, and when empty, refill from a gallon bottle.
... at least when we're talking about 2-stroke oil... if you're drinking it, I suggest sticking to whiskey.

Wow!! All this because way, way , way back in the day, America decided that it didn't want to go metric.

America didn't see the benefit in World wide trade opportunities, that would have resulted in a standardization of packaging for export. A lot of products could have been sold in the same packaging, if properly labeled for the jurisdiction of sale.

America only saw the expense of re-tooling packaging and production.

Americans never saw the difference in the size of a shot of liquor between U.S. Ounces and Imperial ounces. ( that's too bad! )

Americans didn't much see the benefits of a standardized measuring system. Even something as simple as a recipe.. SO much easier not to wonder what format is being used ( U.S. , Imperial, or Metric).

1 U.S. Gallon. = 3.78541 Liter
1 U.S. ounce. = .02957 Liter
1 Imperial Gallon. =4.546 Liter. ( That's why my car gets better mileage in Canada, than in the U.S.)
1 Imperial fluid ounce to Liter. .02841
1 imperial fluid ounce to Imperial quart. .0300 ml.
Etc., etc., etc.,

No matter what, I respect my American neighbour's choice to not participate in Metric standardization. And, I was born ata time that I learned all three systems. So, for me, it's not an issue.... But I could see, that for some,, it's a big pain. Especially when you can't be sure of the original measuring system.

I think that is right. Now I recall I hadn't mixed oil previously. So, I'm sure that I put less oil. And, the oil I used is for 1:50, but my chainsaw needs 1:40 ratio.

The only OIL difference between 40:1 and 50:1 is 40:1 has 0.6-oz MORE oil in it... so add that to the gallon and it is then 40:1, but 50:1 synthetic is good for all equipment, IMHO

If it were me, I would pour the mix into a gas powered vehicle and start over with your mixing process. A pretty inexpensive solution..

YUP. I do this with all my old 2t mix. lawn mower food

40 to 1....A certain OJ container is 54 oz. 54 x 2 = 108 oz. If you put 2 OJ containers of gas into a 1 gal can with 2.6 oz of oil ... you get 40 to 1
