Does anyone have or know of where I can get a conversion chart for fuel to oil mixes.
i.e. 32:1 = ? oz. of oil per one gallon of gas.

Thanks for your help.

 

Why not make your own with graph paper and a ruler? Gallons on one axis; ounces on another. Draw lines of interest and label them, "20:1," "32:1," "40:1," and so on.

I would if I knew what the conversion was. Does 32:1 mean that you should use 32oz. per gallon?
That is where I am confused

 

To make it real simple Get a ratio cup it has all the markings on the cup for pre mix and also has CCs so u can measure your crankcase oil. It is fool proof. I take the empty 1 liter bottle and measure for six gallons then i marked the bottle so i can refill. The ratio cup gos up to 2 1/2 gallons It is only $4 Worth every penny

 

Woodrider400,

To answer the question directly:

32:1 is 32 parts gas to 1 part oil. So if you use 32 oz of gas you need 1 oz of oil. If you use 32 gallons of gas, you need 1 gallon of oil.

ie. 32:1, 40:1 etc are just ratios of gas to oil.

1 US gallon = 128 oz

Therefore, for a 32:1 mix:

32 oz gas needs 1 oz oil
128oz gas needs 4 oz oil
or 1 gallon of gas needs 4 oz of oil
or 5 gallons of gas needs 20 oz of oil

Once you figure out the amount of oil required, write it on your gas cans as amount of oil per gallon. ie. I usually write "32:1 = 4oz/gallon". This way it is easy to multiply by the number of gallons you are putting in.

In US gallons:

20:1 = 6.4oz/gallon
32:1 = 4oz/gallon
40:1 = 3.2oz/gallon

Hope this helps,
