What gasoline is poured into the trimmer

What gasoline can be poured into the trimmer?

Before determining which gasoline can be put into the trimmer, it is necessary to define some of the concepts used.

Trim tabs can be with four-stroke or two-stroke engines. Four-stroke trimmers are the most powerful and complex in design; the lubrication of parts of its engine is carried out by an oil pump. The engine runs on pure gasoline. For two-stroke units. simpler ones. preparation of a fuel mixture consisting of gasoline and oil is required. It is due to the amount of oil in the fuel that the rubbing parts in the cylinder of this engine are lubricated.
To prepare the mixture, you need a certain grade of gasoline AI-95 or AI-92. The brand of gasoline depends on its ignition speed. octane number. The lower this indicator, the faster gasoline burns and the greater its consumption.

Many models of lawn mowers have two-stroke engines running mainly on AI-92 gasoline. The fuel for them must be mixed independently. It is better to pour gasoline of the brand specified for it by the manufacturer into the lawn mower, otherwise the trimmer will fail faster. For example, with AI-95 gasoline, the engine will quickly overheat, and when choosing AI-80, the fuel mixture turns out to be of very low quality, therefore the engine operation will be unstable and with low power.

In addition to choosing a brand of gasoline, when preparing a fuel mixture for lawn mowers, you need to use a special oil designed specifically for two-stroke engines. Semi-synthetic and synthetic oils work well for lawn mowers. Semi-synthetic oils are in the middle price range, they are suitable for such equipment from any manufacturer, they lubricate the necessary engine elements well. Synthetic oils are more expensive, but they will keep the engine running longer. In any case, when buying equipment, you should carefully read the instructions, since sometimes the manufacturer gives recommendations on the use of specific brands of oil.

If you buy Russian-made oil, then it must be marked. 2T. For a long service life of your equipment and its good condition, you never need to use oils of unknown origin.

Gasoline for lawn mowers: which to choose and how to dilute?

For those people who have a summer cottage or a country house, very often there are difficulties with the overgrown grass on the site. As a rule, it is necessary to mow it several times per season and get rid of thickets. Currently, there is a wide range of garden and vegetable garden equipment on the market. One of these assistants can be attributed to a lawn mower, in other words. a trimmer. For effective and long-term operation of such equipment, it is necessary to fill it with high-quality fuel or properly prepared fuel mixtures.

Fuel ratio

If the mixture is diluted correctly, for example, following the instructions below, then the equipment will serve you for more than one year without serious technical breakdowns. At the same time, fuel consumption will be low, and the result of work will be high. The fuel preparation process must always be the same and constant. It is better to use the same ingredients always, without changing the brand indicated by the manufacturer.

It is not worth adding a lot of oil, it can damage the operation of the engine, but you should not save on it either. To maintain the correct proportions, always use the same measuring container, so as not to be mistaken with the quantity. Medical syringes can be used to measure the oil, but some manufacturers, along with the oil, provide a measuring container with risks in the kit.

The most correct ratio of oil and gasoline is 1 to 50, where 50 is the amount of gasoline, and the amount of oil is 1. For a better understanding, let us explain that 1 liter is equal to 1000 ml. So, to get a ratio of 1 to 50, divide 1000 ml by 50, we get 20 ml. As a result, only 20 milliliters of oil need to be added to 1 liter of gasoline. To dilute 5 liters of gasoline, you need 100 ml of oil.

In addition to maintaining the correct proportion, it is necessary to follow the mixing technology of the ingredients. In no case should you just add oil to the gas tank. It is better to follow the following step by step instructions.

To dilute the mixture, you must prepare in advance a container in which you will mix gasoline and oil. This can be a clean metal or plastic canister with a volume of 3, 5 or 10 liters to make it easier to calculate the amount of oil. Do not use drinking water bottles for this purpose. they are made of thin plastic that can dissolve from gasoline. Use a special measuring container to measure the oil. But if there is none, then, as already noted, medical syringes with a large dosage will do.
Pour gasoline into the canister, without adding a couple of centimeters to the full volume. In order not to spill gasoline, take a watering can or insert a funnel into the neck of the canister. Then take the required amount of oil into a syringe or measuring device and pour it into a container with gasoline. It is not recommended to do the opposite. pour gasoline into oil.
Close the bottle tightly and stir the mixture. If during the preparation of the mixture or its mixing, part of the fuel spills out, immediately wipe the canister with a dry cloth.
Be sure to follow fire safety measures. Dilute the mixture away from fire and never leave leftover fuel or used materials within easy reach of children.

And one more important point: it is better to prepare the mixture just enough to fit into the fuel tank of your lawn mower. It is undesirable to leave the remains of the mixture.

Features of refueling lawn mowers

When the mixture is prepared and ready for use, it must be carefully poured into the fuel tank. Since gasoline is a toxic liquid, safety precautions must be observed when working with it. Work must be carried out in calm weather and away from strangers. And also to pour fuel into the tank, you need to use a watering can or funnel with which you previously diluted the mixture. Otherwise, the mixture may spill, go unnoticed, and ignite when the engine heats up.

The fuel bank itself must be cleaned of external contaminants and only then unscrew its cap in order to refuel with the prepared fuel. Once the fuel has been filled, the tank should not be left open, as insects or soil can enter it and clog the fuel filter. Fuel must be poured into the tank up to the indicated mark or less, and then refilled during operation.

As noted above, you should not prepare the mixture more than is necessary for work, it is better to cook less and, if necessary, repeat the process, mixing gasoline with oil again. If there is still unused fuel left, then it must be used up within 2 weeks.

During storage, the container must be tightly closed with a lid. You need to store fuel in a cool room, out of the sun’s rays. It is worth remembering that with long-term storage of the mixture, the oil liquefies and loses its properties.

Whatever brand your equipment is, it requires careful attitude and high-quality fuel. If you follow all the recommendations and use fuel sparingly, your lawn mower will serve you for more than one season, and the land plot will always be in perfect order, without weeds and dense thickets of grass.

Petrol for lawn mowers 95 or 92! What’s better?

I decided to take the list of numbers of Sadko’s service centers and call them, ask them what kind of gasoline is better than 92 or 95! First, I called the western regions, the Transcarpathian, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Luvian regions, the answer is only 92, it has a smaller amount of additives, the piston and valve will run longer! in Kiev they said that only 95! in the Sumy region they said 92, also referring to the percentage of additives in 95! In Kharkiv they said 92 or 95 take only on a good gas station, only the oil must be of high quality! In Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk, they said it would be better to take 95! AR Crimea 95 or 92 only at good gas stations!

At a friend’s viburnum, so after 107 thousand on the 3rd cylinder the rings were demolished, the previous owner drove 92, several minders said that it was because of gasoline, that you need to pour 95! now he only refills on vogue 95!

so I’m ready for a constructive dialogue!

which gasoline is better than 92 or 95!

Well, let’s start by opening and reading the instructions. But I can say in advance (I have a lot of imported equipment) that it says at least 92nd. In general, I would recommend it. I don’t know about you in Ukraine, but we don’t have a normal 95th in Russia. Only due to additives, chemistry. Suitable for cars, But for engines, lawn mowers, no chainsaws. They break on it. Therefore, I only use the 92nd.

The instructions say 92-95! pour oil in mobile1 10v30 synthetics as in the instructions!
I called the Stihl service centers, in the first they said that 95 is better, they only use it, it is better to take an okko or vogue, but take the usual 95. in another service they said that the one I trust is better, I go to 92, at least an UAZ, at least a planet, at least slavuth!
in the trait service they said that it is better to fill in 2-stroke motors 92 on his drum, but already where the technology valves are 2 mix and 4 mix, they are very picky about gasoline, and there are only 95! so I’m leaning more towards the usual 95!

And who forbids? Only then do not look for the guilty. And why then was there to ask?

I want to hear the objective opinion of a person who has operated lawn mowers on 92 and 95 gasoline! That is to say, I want to extend the service life!

I also found some information on some forum, so I’m generally confused!

I talked with the Germans from the calm, they explain that it is impossible to store even not poured but diluted gasoline for more than one week. This is the specificity of oil for two-stroke engines. And they strongly recommend using 92-m gasoline in Ukraine but not 95 m. Since our (Ukrainian) 95 ANY EVEN STEEP is worse than 92 with a cheap refueling. Or if it is possible to use Russian or German gasoline. I have a hedge trimmer Stihl-450, I cut it with both fishing line and knives, just for each case you need to select your own tool. No need to be afraid of knives. the main thing is to follow all the points of TB in the instructions. Knives are afraid of stones and wire. So he has been serving me faithfully for five years. Runs on 92 gasoline. And the air duct was also filled with Stihl 95 for two years, the piston burned, repair 4200gnr. And yet, there is no excess oil in gasoline. And as for the e-trimer, I once held it in my hands. this is a divorce of people for money.

You have a 4T engine with oil in the crankcase. Compared to a 2T engine in which lubrication occurs with a petrol-oil mixture, it is easier for you with gasoline. You can fill in good quality 92-95 gasoline.

P.S In Ukraine there is a network of gas stations, their gasoline contains more than 10% alcohol, such gasoline cannot be poured into 2T engines, because oil dissolves in such gasoline
very bad.And cars with such gasoline work quite well.

Good quality in this, I’m not sure that we have such gasoline, but VOG is considered the best gas station in the area.!
I need to know with what gasoline the lawn mowers engine will work longer, so I doubt it, I ran it on 92 ANP, but then we didn’t have vogue yet.!
but then I stumbled upon the messages of a forum member Yaroslav 1 and Bell Amore, and each of the bottom proved his case, and gave specific examples! That’s when I started thinking!
creating a theme, I thought now the dudes of the SC would run in here and tell you why in ODESSA roofing material!
I still doubt which gasoline is better!

On good gasoline 92, 95.
I understand that your engine is a copy of a Japanese Honda.
Answer this question, is there gasoline in Japan similar to our 92nd ?
What is recommended by 92 is less likely to run into 80 acetone = 95.

Yes copy of GX 35 Honda engine!
I think the Japs don’t have 92!
I got an idea, if you take a 10L canister, and pour 5L 92 5L 95 into it on a vogue! there will be something like 93! do not judge strictly!

Fully podderzhivayu.Even in a car where 95 is registered, you have to fill in 92. Two-stroke from our 95 will quickly fail.

dimasldo, you do not bother much about gasoline, refuel a proven one you trust.
For your engine, there is not much difference that it is 92, that it is 95. the main thing is that high-quality gasoline.
You better change the oil more often, it will be more useful for the engine.

Well actually yes. As I understand it, it is clean. Then you shouldn’t bother. Clean practically does not deteriorate. I have stood in barrels for years. The mixture with oil spoils.

I dare to argue about gasoline! It deteriorates, or rather oxidizes and turns into a yellow color! 5-6 years ago, my father bought 95 gasoline in the Russian Federation, now I have 30 liters of it left, so he turned yellow, Today he went to the instrument center, of Partner Stihl, a boy works there, he has been fixing saws and lawn mowers for 5 years already, he said that gasoline oxidizes and negatively affects the piston, there are scratches on the piston! He also said that there is no difference on what gasoline the saw will work! The main thing is that before pouring gasoline for a day, pour it into a transparent container, if after a day no sediment has fallen out, gasoline can be used! Showed examples of gasoline that precipitates!

Well, since you yourself know everything, so why are you asking?

Here’s another resource nadybal might be interesting!
Now for gasoline. the ratio of the mixture of gasoline. oil is not related in any way
with a brand of gasoline. The brand of gasoline only affects engine detonation. Detonation is a spontaneous explosion of gasoline when compressed.
The piston or the knee or the connecting rod also exploded. destroyed, it happens that the head is in half. I do not frighten this is the way it is.
About gasoline. imagine a piston moving up the cylinder and compresses
fuel mixture. HOW different gasolines behave when compressed:
Gasoline 80 detonates at a compression ratio of about 8-9 and burns quickly after a spark, i.e. the piston has not yet reached top dead center, with a compression ratio of 11-12, and gasoline exploded spontaneously and pressed the piston in the opposite direction and ruined the entire piston.
Gasoline 92 detonates at a compression ratio of about 11-12 and burns longer than 80 after spark ignition. That is, in terms of the compression ratio, it fits our tools. gas engines used on the site.
Gasoline 95 detonates at a compression ratio of about 12-14 and burns
even longer after spark ignition. but due to the slow combustion at the beginning of the exhaust gas discharge, it continues to burn and burns the piston and the exhaust tract. In addition, we have 95 gasoline in our country, most of them with additives that increase the octane number and all the additives remain on the plug and rings.
To get more power, with a small volume, the compression ratio is increased to 10-12, so that the mixture is pre-compressed more strongly and after ignition it receives additional power.
All engines of the streamer, chainsaw, pump. (although there may be 4-stroke) are designed for 92 gasoline.
Imagine a spark ignited a mixture with 95 gasoline, and as you know it
burns longer and the combustion process will continue in the muffler,
and the fresh mixture, newly supplied, will also partially burn out, and part of the piston
and the rings, towards the outlet window, will be roasted with live fire.
And gasoline 92 burns out before the exhaust phase and only smoke goes into the muffler.
As you know, gasoline does not immediately ignite and expand, therefore, the spark jumps before the piston approaches the top dead center, the so-called ignition timing, in these engines it is from 1.5 mm to 3 mm.
In the spring, before the first start-up, be sure to prepare the engine, after winter everything is dry in the engine and the compression is weak and dry rings scratch the cylinder, you can lift the cylinder so that this does not happen, I sprinkle honey. a syringe into the spark plug hole about two cubes of the mixture, sometimes more, I crank the engine slowly, I try to start, but it does not start, because the fresh mixture settles on the dry walls of the crankcase and does not enter the cylinder, if there is a mixture enrichment agent, turn it on, or unscrew the spark plug check it if necessary, blow it out and again run the mixture into the cylinder with a syringe, about 2 cubes, it will quit and start, then warm it up and everything is ready for use for the whole season.
On my own I will add: Pour ONLY what is written in the manual! 95 is not better or worse than 92. they are simply DIFFERENT! Even the overcharged!

What gasoline is needed for the trimmer and how much oil to pour?

There are quite a few trimmer manufacturers, and the engine (gasoline) can be different (there are two-stroke, there are 4).

What gasoline is clearly indicated in the instructions for the trimmer, even if you have lost the instructions, you can always find it on the Internet (on the manufacturer’s website, for example).

Fill in 95th (AI-95) and 92nd gasoline, if the manufacturer writes about it.

The 80th is extremely rare, and the savings here are zero.

If the engine is two-stroke, then the oil is needed for two-stroke engines, again, exactly what kind, read the instructions for the tool.

Alternatively, here is the oil for 2-stroke engines “JASO FD”.

The proportions are also in the instructions, a lot depends on the specific oil that the manufacturer recommends.

The most common option is a 1: 50 ratio.

If the engine is already worn out, or the trimmer is working under heavy load, then the proportion can be changed, for example 1: 25, or even 1: 20.

If the engine is 4-stroke, then gasoline with small is not mixed, in the gas tank there is “pure” gasoline without oil.

Be sure to find the instructions for the trimmer, there are no general proportions, some kind of universal oil and the octane number of gasoline may be different, the manufacturer of a particular tool clearly describes everything.

It is impossible to say in one answer about all trimmers at once, since each has its own specification.!

So it’s best to find a manual for the trimmer model you are going to use.

But if we summarize the data, then in most cases AI-92 is recommended, but some models only AI-95. Higher-octane gasoline of the AI-98 marking has not been used anywhere in my memory, respectively, and it is not worth pouring it in, since the engine may not withstand.

Now about the dilution of gasoline with oil. firstly, the oil must meet the API requirement for two-stroke engines with the designation class TA.

But how much, or rather the ratio of oil / gasoline, you need to watch!

Start of gas trimmer

But there is a nuance, these proportions can be written in three places:

manual
fuel tank
oil canister

How to use a Scepter gas can

I recommend starting from the oil can, i.e. from the recommendation of the oil manufacturer.

The responding authors correctly noted that there is a big difference in the used brand of gasoline for two-stroke and four-stroke. I do not take into account electric trimmers. they, by definition, use lubricants only for moving parts of the drive.

Without going “from behind the stove” I can say from my own experience that for two-stroke gasoline should be less than a four-stroke number. There was experience in operating a Makita four-stroke trimmer on 92 gasoline. The owner of the trimmer again used it at 92, although the manufacturer recommended gasoline from 95 and above. However, I used all the other operating fluids in strict accordance with the instructions (oil for the engine crankcase (for the crank)) I tried to mow on it and I at one time, and that’s what I realized. The bottom line is that the craving is not to hell, much lower than that declared by the manufacturer, as a result, more revolutions and heating, too, gasoline does not burn completely, carbon deposits in the muffler are constantly growing. Taking it home to drive it, refueled 95th gasoline, and the car went. it doesn’t heat up, the throttle response is good for you, the exhaust is like gas. it doesn’t even smell and can’t be seen, you can put your hand on the cylinder and not get burned. Conclusion. for four-stroke trimmers, a minimum of 95 gasoline is better.

For two-strokes. Here is just the opposite. In what proportions do not dilute 95 gasoline with oil, the additives present in it (and in Russia, by definition, there is no “pure” 95 gasoline at all. this is the same 92 additive package), it will not be possible to neutralize with oil and therefore the detonating component cannot be excluded. In addition, the two-stroke, which works out each piston stroke cycle to ignite the working mixture, heats up much more on high-octane gasoline, since its combustion temperature is higher. Which leads to an increase in the natural expansion of metals, well, it is quite logical to reduce the clearance in the mating parts (piston group, cages and balls of bearings, etc.) The four-stroke “works out” every second stroke in the operating mode (ignition of the working mixture) According to the principle of the system cooling, we can also say that 92nd gasoline is more recommended for two-stroke engines with an air cooling system.

The proportions of oil for any of the type of motors must first of all be looked at in the product passport. Well, of course, it is clear that oil is poured into four-stroke engines only into the crankcase of the engine, and for a two-stroke engine, a working mixture is prepared from parts of gasoline and part of oil. The proportions for oil and gasoline for each of the trimmer models must be seen (first of all!) In the product passport. I can only give the guaranteed proportions of oil and gasoline for two-stroke engines of trimmers from Stihl and Huter. both during the running-in period and during the operation, when using our (Russian) gasoline, dilute 25 milligrams of oil for each liter of 92 gasoline. Proportion 40/1 At these proportions I have been running a 180 Stihl and a Huter trimmer for more than three years. normal flight. The proportions given to the Stihl manufacturers. 50/1 is not for our gasoline, but for the European brand 87-90, which comes out of the distiller as such, without the addition of anti-knock and eco additives.

What gasoline can be poured into the trimmer?

Before determining which gasoline can be put into the trimmer, it is necessary to define some of the concepts used.

Trim tabs can be with four-stroke or two-stroke engines. Four-stroke trimmers are the most powerful and complex in design; the lubrication of parts of its engine is carried out by an oil pump. The engine runs on pure gasoline. For two-stroke units. simpler ones. preparation of a fuel mixture consisting of gasoline and oil is required. It is due to the amount of oil in the fuel that the rubbing parts in the cylinder of this engine are lubricated.
To prepare the mixture, you need a certain grade of gasoline AI-95 or AI-92. The brand of gasoline depends on its ignition speed. octane number. The lower this indicator, the faster gasoline burns and the greater its consumption.

If you buy Russian-made oil, then it must be marked. 2T. For a long service life of your equipment and its good condition, you never need to use oils of unknown origin.

Now there are not enough people left who use an ordinary braid on their own personal plot. This “old-fashioned” method does not actually occur. Well, many already have no idea how to handle it, sharpen it and rivet it. With the development of technology, devices have appeared under the title trimmers.

Now there are not many people left who use an ordinary braid on their own personal plot. This “old-fashioned” method practically does not occur. And many already have no idea how to handle it, sharpen it and rivet it. With the development of technology, devices called trimmers have appeared.

Fuel ratio

To dilute the mixture, you must prepare in advance a container in which you will mix gasoline and oil. This can be a clean metal or plastic canister with a volume of 3, 5 or 10 liters to make it easier to calculate the amount of oil. Do not use drinking water bottles for this purpose. they are made of thin plastic that can dissolve from gasoline. Use a special measuring container to measure the oil. But if there is none, then, as already noted, medical syringes with a large dosage will do.
Pour gasoline into the canister, without adding a couple of centimeters to the full volume. In order not to spill gasoline, take a watering can or insert a funnel into the neck of the canister. Then take the required amount of oil into a syringe or measuring device and pour it into a container with gasoline. It is not recommended to do the opposite. pour gasoline into oil.
Close the bottle tightly and stir the mixture. If during the preparation of the mixture or its mixing, part of the fuel spills out, immediately wipe the canister with a dry cloth.
Be sure to follow fire safety measures. Dilute the mixture away from fire and never leave leftover fuel or used materials within easy reach of children.

And one more important point: it is better to prepare the mixture just enough to fit into the fuel tank of your lawn mower. It is undesirable to leave the remains of the mixture.

What gasoline is needed for a trimmer
How to choose a lawn mower
How to dilute gasoline

The grade of gasoline suitable for a particular tool model is usually indicated in the operating instructions. If you ignore the manufacturer’s recommendations and fill the tank with fuel with the wrong octane number, over time, the device may simply fail. Trimmers are available with two-stroke and four-stroke engines. Their refueling and maintenance are significantly different.

Two-stroke petrol trimmers

Mototrimmers equipped with a two-stroke engine do not have a separate oil supply system for lubricating rubbing parts. Therefore, they need to be filled not with pure gasoline, but with its mixture with engine oil. Remember that the oil must be special, designed for two-stroke engines. Using automotive engine oil can damage the instrument.

Trimmers with a two-stroke engine should be filled with AI-92 gasoline. Of course, it will be able to run on gasoline with a higher octane number. But when refueling with AI-95 gasoline, the engine will overheat and run unevenly.

Mix oil and gasoline in the correct proportion. If there is too little lubricant, seizures will appear on the surface of the piston and cylinder walls, then the piston ring will collapse, and the engine will jam. An excess of oil is not so critical, but it will also lead to unpleasant consequences. Carbon deposits will form on the piston, and the piston ring will coke, which will lead to a drop in power.

That’s What Happens When You Put the Wrong Fuel in a Car

Usually the proportions of gasoline and oil are indicated in the instructions for the tool. Many manufacturers prescribe a ratio of 50: 1. one part oil is poured into 50 parts of fuel. Therefore, there should be 20 ml of oil per liter of fuel. If the engine is worn out, or the tool is under high load, the amount of lubricant can be increased to 25: 1 by pouring 40 ml per liter of gasoline.

The trim tabs, powered by a four-stroke engine, are more complex. Gasoline and oil are poured into different containers, from where they are then fed to the engine. In such models, you cannot use a lubricant designed for two-stroke engines.
Gasoline for a trimmer with such a motor must be of the AI-92 or AI-95 brands. It is not recommended to use fuel with a lower octane number. this will lead to unstable engine operation.

Many trimmer manufacturers strongly advise the use of fuels and lubricants produced under their own logo. They are often more expensive than analogs sold under other names. Is it worth overpaying for branded oil?
Gasoline tool companies do not manufacture fuels and lubricants. They buy these products from firms that produce oils, and then pack the grease in containers with their own symbols. Therefore, you can safely buy the right oil from any manufacturer. The main thing is that it matches the parameters of the engine.

What gasoline to fill in the trimmer

What are the trimmers?

There are two main types of such devices. These are gasoline and electric. From the name it is clear that their main difference is the power source. Each type has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of gasoline engines is the absence of a power cord, which does not restrict the owner from moving around the site during work. The electric one needs a 220 V network for power supply. There is no way to do without an extension cord, which will constantly interfere and get confused under your feet.

A modern trimmer that runs on fuel, thanks to the presence of various replaceable heads, has turned from an ordinary scythe into a means of small mechanization with many functions. Having installed the appropriate nozzle, the owner will not be difficult to form a crown of shrubs on his personal garden plot. In the snowy winter, it can be used as a snow blower. The very replacement of the working heads of the trimmer does not take much time and can be done both with the use of a tool or without it.
