Stihl Mixing Bottle

Wanted a convenient and easy way to mix smaller portions of gas than 1-gallon and this mixing bottle does it.Being a Stihl branded product makes it pricey for what it is but it’s a good quality bottle with seals that don’t leak (if you have the cap screwed on all the way) while mixing/shaking the bottle. Also the smaller opening makes it convenient to pour from.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It allows me to mix a small amount of gas (with 2-cycle oil) instead of a whole lank

I haven't used this yet so my review is simply based on my observations of apparent quality and design. I'll update it when I do use it if I find something noteworthy. I don't use my chainsaw frequently so I bought a different brand mixing bottle on Amazon (this one never showed in any searches). The bottle had markings for fuel and then oil above that so it was only useful for mixing a full one liter bottle. I filled the bottle gas to the fuel mark. Then I started filling the bottle with two stroke oil. Before I realized it the oil bottle was empty. I'd poured enough oil for a gallon into a liter which is just over a 4th of a gallon, so 4 times as much as needed. My Stihl chainsaw can be a bit finnicky. I can't imagine it liking that fuel/oil mixture. Recently I found this Stihl brand bottle and decided to give it a shot. The shape is great. It seems like it'll be much easier to handle and pour. The plastic is thick so it feels solid, no squish here. There are markings up to a liter so you can mix smaller batches but it's really made for a full liter or half liter. Where it really shines is the cap is the measuring cap for the oil. Simply pour in the recommended amount of oil for the amount of fuel in the bottle, put the cap back on the bottle, and shake like your making margaritas. The build quality and design have impressed me. I hope real world experience doesn't disappoint.

This calibrated mixing bottle is ideal for mixing small quantities of chainsaw fuel so the gasoline doesn't get stale before being used. Markings on the cap and bottle make measuring easy. Unfortunately, bottle markings can be difficult to read. I'll probably highlight them with a "permanent" marker and remark as needed if the ink wears off. Disposing of old fuel is a nuisance and putting old fuel in a 2-cycle engine is a huge gamble. I paid a couple of bucks extra for the Stihl branded item, but it was still a pretty good value.

What a bloody clever little tool for those of us who frequent the forest. This little bottle does exactly what it promises to do, making it very easy with visual delineations on the bottle, as well as inside the filler cap, which also functions as a mix measuring cup. The only thing I'd say that could make it any easier to use is if it was sized to perfectly use up a single bottle of Stihl's two stroke oil with each fill...that would make it just absolutely idiot-proof. That said, if you can't figure out how to make your fueling much easier with this tool...well, you probably shouldn't be operating a chainsaw.My only criticism is that it can leak a tiny bit where the filler lid screws down, but nothing significant. Great product, happy I picked it up.

I can get 3 fills out of it for my small saw, only problem with it is the caps are hard to get started back on the threads.

great

High quality bottle, angled spout highly effective. Better made of the two different mixing bottles I have. Wish the mixing system was as good as other bottle
