How to Properly Mix Fuel and Oil with the Attwood Fuel Oil Mixing Bottle

Mixing fuel and oil correctly is crucial for the longevity and performance of your 2-cycle engines.

Improper mixtures can lead to poor engine performance or even damage over time. The Attwood Fuel Oil Mixing Bottle is a handy tool that ensures you get it right every time.

Why Use a Mix?

  2. Measure the Oil: Use the Attwood Mixing Bottle to measure the precise amount of oil needed for your desired ratio.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Add the oil to the fuel container, then add the gasoline. Secure the lid and shake well to ensure a proper mix.
