Does any company offer 40:1 premix?

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

I want to use a 40:1 in all my saws, currently I use stihls Motomix but that’s 50:1. I don’t use saws enough to justify the hassle to mix it myself and if I can avoid adding extra oil to Motomix I will. What companies offer 40:1 and what is the best of these? In Australia if it helps

Hey mate, you could buy a 1litre bottle and just add a bit extra oil to the premixed stuff to run it at 40:1. It’s not a hassle. You would only need to add 25ml of oil to 5 litres of 50:1 premix and it would become 40:1 mix [emoji1303]

At the rate you buy specialist tooling for one off rebuilds- a plastic measuring jug that has a measurement scale marked in millilitres and a calculator to do the math for you should not be out of your reach.
Do saws that sit on shelves need fuel?

Trufuel, Husqvarna, VP, Sunoco, SEF, probably more but that's off the top of my head.

VP racing does and "Royal Purple TruFuel" along with a few other options. Can find some of that at Lowes in some locations

I can’t disagree with you Bob because you are right, but I have to say you are the cheekiest bugger I know, but for some reason I don’t have Ill feelings towards you and I don’t know why. I need more dirt on you to give you some back!

Hey mate yes I could, you’re right but if I can avoid it I’d do so! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll fall back on this if nothing else is available in my area

Thanks mate! Is there a preference amongst the guys on here? Or are they all the same just branded differently?

I reversed it just in case google works backwards down there.

I run 40:1 Trufuel myself, easily available here in the states.

Good advice I did this a couple times with the husky premix and husky oil.
But around here trufuel is widely available at 40:1, much more on shelves than their 50:1 variant.

Hahaha we use fuel : oil too, though the water does spin the other way down the plug hole

Damn trufuel is USA only it seems!

Buy good steel small gas can. Mix your own. Use a stabilizer. Good for a year.

Tom. You're in Australia where the metric system is your friend!
1%, 100:1
2%, 50:1
3%, 33.3(recurring):1

Mix or buy your fuel at 2% (50:1)
If going to 40:1 from there is too tricky, make it 3% (33.3:1) by putting a litre in a bottle and adding another 1% oil (10ml)
