if you can't mix the gas for your chainsaw, maybe you should get your wife to do it? |

I've never tried the premixed stuff Beanzy, but I assume you're just going to pay a premium for something you can do yourself. These products are likely made for the same crowd that buys premixed rad fluid at Canadian Tire.

Mixing small amounts of 2 cycle gas is not easy for some people. It's very easy to make a mistake in the amount of oil to add. I use a handy plastic bottle you can get at Canadian Tire that has all the popular mix ratios on it for small amounts of gas. Very easy to use & hard to make a mistake with. https://tinyurl.com/k8j5yuv |

While I am thinking about it, for small engines like chainsaws & boat motors, it's best to use premium gas that doesn't have ethanol in it! The reason for this is something called "phase separation" where the ethanol in the fuel absorbs water in the air & the water actually separates out of the fuel during storage. My friend had a problem with his boat which turned out to be lots of water in the bottom of his fuel tank. He was astonished to see the amount of water we pumped out of his internal tank. Just something to think about. |

Premium fuel should be used in all 2 stroke or high performance engines. Its not worth trying to save money.

Laugh if you will I just Bought a new Husqvarna. If you buy three cans of this premixed gas you get a 2 year warranty. So I bought the stuff. The great thing about it in my books is you can throw it in your gear it will not break down like gas you mix I believe the shelf life is like 3 years.. Throw some under the seat of your truck if you get stuck some place there you have it.. It Is pricey at I think around 8$ a l |

I won't laugh at you Copter. I bet more 2stroke engines get ruined every year by people using the wrong mix ratios. Most people don't use their saws that much, & the one's that do usually have a good idea of how to mix fuel. |
