Sorta a dumb question about oil and gas mixture.
I have to mix my oil and gas and was wondering do you all place the oil in the gas can first? I always do it first but sometimes I need to put more gas in just to fill the tank. I was under the impression that if I place the oil first it mixes better, does it matter? Thanks guys.

Oil is soluble in gasoline and vice versa, so it will mix pretty eaisly. By the time you get from the gas pump to the boat ramp you should be good.
Get some stink on your hands!

I will add that it's important to have a routine. Nothing like getting to your first spot and trying to remember if you put the oil in the tank!Originally Posted by Scrapper

I fish with a guy who dates his oil jug with a Sharpie everytime he adds oil before he puts the cap back on. That way he knows for sure.

I have actually been at the service station pulling out...then started wondering...now thats bad!! lol. I just add more if not sure....sure you'll fry some plugs from time to time...BUT you'll still have an engine. I ALWAYS want my outboard premix engines to smoke some while idling...not only do I know they are getting plenty of oil...I like the smell...yeah I'm weird! lol
