I think I mix mine a little rich on the oil but have had no ill effects after about 8 years of doing so. I usually dump about half quart (unmeasured, give or take a bit) to a 5 gallon container. If you mix it with 50/50 Jet/diesel, which is what I do when my Jet fuel harvest at work gets slim (sopmetimes I have competition), that is ok too.
