# How to Mix Gasoline and 2-Cycle Engine Oil
Many outdoor appliances such as leaf blowers, snow blowers and weed whackers require you to mix gasoline and 2-cycle engine oil for fuel. Different appliances might require different ratios of oil to gasoline, so it's a good idea to have separate gasoline containers for each appliance, clearly marked with the gasoline to oil ratio.

Determine what fuel ratio your equipment requires. There are three common gasoline to oil mix ratios: 32-to-1, 40-to-1 and 50-to-1. Read your owner's manual to determine the proper ratio for your appliance.

Measure the proper amount of oil by pouring it into a measuring cup. Place a funnel into a 1 gallon gasoline container and pour the oil into the funnel. It is easiest to use a 1 gallon gasoline can so after you pour in the right amount of oil you just fill the rest of the container with gasoline.
