How to make 2 stroke fuel?

My old scooter is a two-stroke, and I'm trying to mix the fuel myself to save a bit. Can anyone tell me the correct way to make two-stroke fuel? What ratio and type of oil should I use?

Mixing oil for old scooters takes more energy than my knees have these days! Just make sure you get the ratio right or the smoke will make everyone cough, including you.

Bro, it's just mixing petrol with 2T oil. I use a 40:1 ratio for my bike, which is about 25ml of oil per litre of petrol. Shake it well before putting it in the tank.

I used to clean my carburetor without a mask and my doctor warned me about toxic chemical exposure affecting my lungs. Now I always wear heavy gloves and a mask when mixing 2T oil and petrol.

While mixing fuel is a mechanical task, please ensure you do it in a well-ventilated area. Inhaling petrol fumes can cause severe respiratory irritation and headaches.

Please be very careful with inflammable liquids at home. If you inhale too much gas or feel dizzy while doing this, go to a doctor immediately and don't ignore it.

Hamare yahan toh seedhe petrol pump pe hi bol dete hain ki 2-stroke oil daal do. Wo log barabar naap ke mila dete hain bhaiya, koi jhanjhat nahi.

You need to match the manufacturer's manual. Most chainsaws and older bikes need 50:1 or 40:1 ratio. Buy a proper measuring can from Amazon, don't guess it.
