Actually, it sucks trying to fill a trimmer (or chain saw) tank from a 5
gal gas can. As for funnels and mixing, that's ancient history, these
days you either get individual oil bottles to match the 1 gal gas can
you use, or the squeeze-measure type bulk bottles like those for the
stabil. I use just a single quality 40:1 mix for all my disparate brands
of 2 cycle stuff, always use Stabil in every batch and never worry about
the age of the fuel batch (~4-6 months is typical). None of my 2 cycle
stuff has had any complaints from this over the past 10 years or so.
