Robin dragged me off to Wal-Mart last night. I was browsing the automotive
section and I came across the ideal device for mixing two cycle oil
with the fuel. This has a 12 inch clear plastic hose on the bottom to
fit in the gas tank of most cars. It also has a cover on top and a plug on the
bottom of the hose to keep oil residue inside when carry it around in the
baggage compartment. It is calibrated up to 32 ounces so it is perfect
for our use at one ounce per gallon or less. Best $3.95 you will ever
spend. Buy two.
Wal Mart has good prices on gallon cans of two stroke oil as well.
Robin has been using a wine bottle for her 83 RX7 with a long neck
but it is not entirely satisfactory as the amount of oil put in the
tank is just a guess and the neck does not fit the unleaded restrictor
all that well. Not only that there is a risk of breaking the glass bottle.
BTW Robin uses one ounce per gallon in addition to the regular
oil injector just to be on the safe side and we have noticed
no ill effects of any kind nor smoke.
