When most here speak of ounces per gallon, they are speaking US volume terms, BUT most folks speak ratios. 20:1, 30:1 and units of measure are irrelevant. It's 30 parts fuel, 1 part oil by volume (30:1) for example. You can convert these to units of measure that are handy for you.

FWIW Since this is an oil thread I will throw something in that surprised me. After all these years I finally read the recommended fuel/oil ratio on a Hodaka gas tank---after it is now serving on a 4-cycle. 20:1 ! I never dreamed anyone oiled that heavily. I think everyone ran 32:1 with no oiling issues. They ran the **** out of those rat racers etc and I can't remember any failures. strange---Keith Williams

Nothing beats a hint of castor. Try a castor blended 2 stroke racing fuel available from a Kart shop or motorcycle shop.

Hey Pablo
I know that you sell other quality oils
that's a good THING
and I run a 4-stroke Robin -- so I won't be able to get a sniff
but
I think just for the good old days
I will buy some Castor for my weed wacker
then when I am in the yard working
I can slip back to the days of riding long ago

got to love that -- wack that THING

 

[Pablo]

I add castor to good oil too cause I love to smell that thang!!

"wack that THING" I almost blew good beer all over the screen
