cagimaha Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Er, as the title. Do you just guestimate it with the graduations on the bottle or have you got some sort of contraption for measuring it out? Cheers, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisexup Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 long thin measuring tubes are most accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul g Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 A little tip, I always find it easier to buy the fuel in units of litres that suit your premix ratio. i.e. 40 to 1 = 4 litres of fuel to 100 ml of oil so buy 4, 8, 12, 16 litres etc and add 100, 200, 300 or 400 ml's of oil. Not a big thing but makes life easier for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagimaha Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Cheers. Im using a measuring tube thing at the moment but was getting sick of the mess all over the inside of the rucksack. Ive just seen the one with a cap on that link though so Ill try one of them out. The only reason I asked was I saw a guy on an X7 at the petrol station the other day and he had his oil in a big syringe. The tube with a cap should do the trick though. Nice one, Ben.

chrisexup Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 i used to carry an Acerbis 250ml jug when i was out on the KTM but a baby's milk bottle would do, or 100ml plastic bottles to add to 5 litres of fuel (if you're running at 50:1 of course, you could always go 125ml for 40:1, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobert23 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I've got an ol' (pocket sized) measuring 'tube' thing, that actually belongs to an ol' Vespa. The graduations are marked out for litres of fuel, so dead easy (and saves me having to work it out myself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGV_Gary Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Mothercare babies bottle is really handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagimaha Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I would mix it at home and do it that way but tank range is pretty abysmal. As soon as it hits the powerband I reckon its well below double figures in the mpg stakes. Still thats not why I built it and it is worth it.

jeffery_duke Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I have two bottles at 1L each .. I use the nice little alloy bottles from camping shops and a cargo net to hold em on as a reserve ... try to never mix on a fore court ! never never never mix in the tank with a shake ........ into a chemestry shop and get a graduated cyl. for most accuracy ... plastic ones are £3 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
