I'm new to 2 stroke oil but I'm trying to come up with a good and efficient means of dosing it.  I've got a gallon jug in the tool box but would like to be able to accurately measure what I'm putting in.  Preferably a sealable container so it doesn't get contaminated throwing it back in the box.  What are y'all using?

 

P.S. getting a package from dap today.  Injectors going in this afternoon.

I saved some 1 qt..oil bottles that had a large pour spout because hey are easier to refill. I just pour in amount needed, not by measure really because if It took a half tank I pour in a half quart. If its a 3/4 tank I pour in 3/4ths of a quart and so on. If I'm hauling heavy and it is hot weather I usually add more by pouring in the whole qt.ea. fill.

I have a half-quart container that I use.  I ought to find a quart container.  I try to guess how much it will use, pour it in first then fill the tank.  After filling I'll add the remainder of my 2 stroke.

I bought 2 8 oz and 1 16 oz containers of the walmart 2-stroke oil.  I also bought a gallon jug of it.  If I fill up at 1/4 tank then I put in an 8 oz.  If I fill up at half then I put in the 16 oz.  If I fill up 3/4 then I put in an 8 oz and 16 oz.  If I run it empty then all of them go in.  Then i refill them from the gallon jug and keep them in the drivers side door pocket.

I used to use "glugs" lol  when I did run it I would give it a couple good glugs per fill.  

I have quart trans fluid bottles and just eye ball it. It is not a precision dosage, just get it close and if in doubt one more glug cant hurt. If I run bio diesel I will skip the 2 stroke. 5% bio is as good or better than the 2 stroke. The only thing with that is knowing whether you are getting at the pump. A 5% blend and below does not have to be labeled on the pump. I am sure I have run both at the same time over the years  with no ill effects.

I got my mpg on quad dialed in pretty accurate, so I know how many gallons I used, but I never try to be exact. If I'm filling with bio I don't use any

Thinking of trying a pack of these.  Supposed to dispense 1 oz per pump.

I'd just use an empty quart container to pump into.

For me making 32 pumps to fill a quart bottle would drive me crazy.  I have never been that precise. Not knocking it, just my personal prefrence.

That's my preferred measurement.  Close enough is good enough.

I just dump lol.

I use a old quart bottle with the measure window. I pour what I need close and dump in. typically pump about 15 or 16 gallons so 1 pint all I need.

Exactly what I've done for years.  Works well for me.  I have more containers and keep them in the bed in a sealed ammo can.

 

I went to the dollar store and bought a Ketchup Squeeze bottle, for a dollar.  Marked it 2 oz increments and it does 12 gallons.  Nice wide mouth, fill it from the gallon jug.  Pump 10 or 12 gallons.

I use this empty jug. . .

Half a quart each fill, or at least one of the 2.6oz jugs you can buy in a pack and just toss one in and go- pretty convenient. Then when there all empty refill with your personal preference.

Or this...

I just dump 2 gallons in at one time...but that's for the highly modified Yamahammer on the boat. ?  In the truck I have never put a drop of anything in the tank other than diesel.

 

The original VP is still going very strong at 205k and has been tapped for a long time...so I never saw the need to use it.  I can see the reason and logic behind using it and I'm not saying that you shouldn't use it.  Just saying that I haven't and have been very successful so far. 

 

It's my opinion that a rock solid lift pump (mechanical) constantly supplying never less than 15-20 lbs at any throttle setting is sufficient.  Besides, I fish a lot and already buy several gallons at a time.  So my 2-cycle oil budget is already blown out of the water...no pun intended.

I use a empty quart of oil bottle with the side window and  OZ measurements

 

 

,

Where did you buy that?

Wal Mart  boat section

It has ounces on the back.  Up to 28 or 30 oz. Works good for me. I fill up then add oil to match gallons of fuel.
