Mixed fuel

[tekim]

If I am pre-mixing my fuel with oil, is there any problem with mixing a batch of it at a time, like 205 litres? Is there gonna be any settling issues or inconsistant mixing?

you should use the fuel within a short period of time because it will go stale. Plus it will settle, so constant mixing is a must. Other than those two issues, its not a problem mixing a bunch at a time.
Its just easier for me to mix small amount that I know I am going to use over the weekend, because nowadays the oil comes in quantities designed for specific Jerry Can sizes..

I`ve done a 100 litres at a time with no problems... mind you, the fuel never sat for more than two weeks before it was used up.....

That would be approx 9.3 gerry cans as earlier stated may be go half that amount 100 liters should be good for 2.5 trips
