Mixing two-stroke oil and fuel for a leaf blower

Using a proper fuel mixture is important when using your Husqvarna leaf blower since it powers the engine of the product.

Inadequate fuels and incorrect mix ratios can cause serious damage to your leaf blower, such as

  • Excessive wear
  • A short life span

Tips for properly mixing fuel for leaf blowers:

  1. Always mix the fuel and oil in a clean container that is intended for fuel.
  2. Always start by filling the container with half the amount of the fuel to be used, add the entire amount of oil, mix (agitate) the fuel mixture, then add the remaining amount of petrol.
  3. Do not mix more than one month’s supply of fuel at a time.
  4. Mix the fuel mixture thoroughly before filling the machine’s fuel tank.
  5. Mix the correct ratio as specified by the manufacturer.

To find the fuel mix ratio, please refer to the operator’s manual for your product.

Fuel and oil mixture should always be 2% (50:1). We recommend that you use Husqvarna oil mixtures.
