1/3 pint of oil mixed with 2 gallons of petrol. The mix is 48:1. In your position I would see how it runs with 30:1 mix. Good luck.A beauty!
Use stainless tin-strips with rubber underneath (like diesel-tanks on lorrys are fixed).

1/3 pint in 2 cal - What would the mixing ratio be in earthly units of measurement? Thank you.
It's a 2-stroke surely, no need for lead there ....

No,as I said,there’s a blank in the moulding already holed in readiness .Is that the Katsu?
Since splitting the gearbox to grease,I suspect a machining error as the gears are notch and noisy,years ago I had an Aldi one with a similar complaint

Just use it as a grunt tool and give your Makita an easier life...that sort of money its kind of a consumable reallyNo,as I said,there’s a blank in the moulding already holed in readiness .

UK-gallons?
I didn't identify that at first - now that I know it's 1:48, I see it.
Thanks

Been using one of the Fakita grinders and sabre saw up my Dad's house this week with genuine 18v Makita batteries. Performed admirably.

It would be the same as they used in the engine so SAE30 or 40 mineral oil, but I tend to use a modern 2T oil which probably produces less "clag"
no need for lead replacement as it's a 2 stroke so no valves to damage that said even my old 4 strokes are happy running on E5

Stuart Turner built decent quality engines with roller bearings instead of the more common white metal used by most of the other makers so 50:1 will be fine
Funny you say that,I just can’t stall it!Just use it as a grunt tool and give your Makita an easier life...that sort of money its kind of a consumable really
As 1 to 48 is a ratio. Litres or UK gallons will both produce the correct oil/fuel ratio. The mixture will be by volume and for example 100cc of 2 stroke oil should be mixed with 4800cc of petrol.UK-gallons?
I didn't identify that at first - now that I know it's 1:48, I see it.

A nice man has just left me a cheque for £349:
It came from a the recycling, scraping of old time peaces. Mainly wrist watches, travel clacks and few mantle clocks.
The good working ones he will sell for us, so more funds will come my way soon.
Happy me.

You are right, of course, but at the time the question was what "1/3 pint : 1 gal" meant - two units of measurement I was completely unfamiliar with.After the answer "1:48" came, I discovered what the other signs on the tank cap meant.
Since I don't know where the tank came from, I asked for one unit of measurement to find out the other.

Now for a measure you just need one of the 1/3rd pint glass milk bottles like the ones every child was given every day in schools back in the 1960's.
(true recycling of course - the bottles were reused - no throw away society then
