  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

What methods do people use when filling up at the bowser to ensure you get the oil/fuel mixing correctly in the tank?

I have just bought a WR300, and are putting a Acerbis bag on the back to hold a syringe and oil container. But when filling the tank and mixing the oil, how do people ensure its correctly mixed in the fuel?? Leave an air gap and try and slosh the fuel around inside the tank?

Thats possibly the only way you can really?
 
Yep. Have a small container of premix, usually enough for 2 gallons, and mix it one gallon at a time. Slosh for effect.
 
I pre-measure into 100ml bottles.. Double bottled for safety when carried on my bike with a pair of nitrile gloves.. When needed at the
gas station I just do the slosh thing or try to find a old oil bottle or windshield washer jug (rinse with a bit of gas first).. Cheers.. :)

I've emptied the tank to know exactly how much l can squeeze in there. I carry a length of solder that l've marked to gauge the amount of fuel l have and l use a baby bottle that l have markings for my ratio (40:1 @ 225ml +/-)
So when l hit reserve and can make it to a bowser, l empty the oil in first and use the bowser pump to mix the fuel.
 
I put the oil in first, then pump 3-4 gallons in the container.. The flow from the fuel pump mixes it all up....
