How to do gas oil mixing for Pocket Bikes

Alright for the newbee this can be a challenge it was for me with my first 2 stroke bike.
Two stroke engines do not have an oil tank and gas tank there are pocket bike that do but most don’t especially in 2 stroke. There are ways to calculate the oil gas mixture but there are easier ways to do this.


All you have to really know is the following.

Go to your local Walmart and go to the garden center. In the garden center you will find 4 and 8 oz bottles of two stroke oil. If you have a new bike you will see a sticker most likely that says 25:1 ratio what this means is put in about ¾ of the 8oz bottle (to be on the safe side I would just use all 8oz to much will not hurt you as to little will) into a gas canister. You also have to remember the companies that made these little engines did not spend millions on research and development and have laser cut metal so 8oz is the safer way to go.

How to mix

  1. Dump the 8oz in a gas canister
  2. Put 1 gallon of 91 octane gas in the canister
  3. Shake the canister a little (softly not hard)
  4. Place mixture in your gas tank after you let it settle for a few minutes.


Always remember for best performance turn on your bike and let it run for a couple of minutes before you start riding.

Hope this helps have fun riding and stay safe.
