What fuel mix does a Stihl saw use?

Stihl saws typically use a mixture of gasoline and two-stroke oil. The ratio of gasoline to oil varies depending on the specific saw model and the type of oil being used. For example, some Stihl saws require a 50:1 mixture of gasoline to oil, while others may require a 25:1 mixture. It is important to use the correct fuel mixture for your Stihl saw, as using the wrong mixture can damage the engine.

Here are the steps on how to mix fuel for a Stihl saw:

1. Determine the correct fuel mixture ratio for your saw. This information can be found in your saw's owner's manual.

2. Measure out the correct amount of gasoline and oil. Use a measuring cup or graduated cylinder to measure the liquids precisely.

3. Pour the oil into the gasoline.

4. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the oil and gasoline are completely mixed.

5. Label the fuel container with the fuel mixture ratio and the date it was mixed.

It is important to use fresh fuel in your Stihl saw. Old fuel can cause problems with starting and performance. It is also important to store fuel in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
