well there's a million threads on this, but I am like him to a point and maybe just don't wanna look around to much, it is sometimes hard to navigate, but 2 stroke is like motor oil for a 7.3L powerstroke, you kinda open up a can of worms and sometimes they're evil worms

sorry boss, but everyone who runs the stuff in a truck usually only uses a 100:1 ratio and on common rails around a 250:1 ratio, we're not trying to run a 2 stroke chainsaw, just trying to keep the fueling system lubricated better
