This tool determines the precise ratio of lubricating oil to gasoline required for two-stroke engines. For example, if an engine requires a 32:1 ratio and one gallon of gasoline is used, the calculation reveals the necessary amount of oil to add to that gallon.
Accurate proportioning is critical for the longevity and performance of two-stroke machinery. Too little lubricant can lead to engine seizure, while excessive lubricant can cause fouling of spark plugs and increased exhaust emissions. Historically, reliance was placed on measuring cups and estimates, leading to inconsistencies. This device provides a more accurate and reliable solution.
