I hesitate to handle this topic here but will take a run at it cautioning the reader to be very very careful about the fuel mix they use in their seagulls. Many seagulls have been ruined over the years because owners did not read the manual and didn't put any or not enough oil in with the gasoline. Lets start with a definition. A fuel mix is a mix of gasoline and 2 cycle oil mixed in a specific ratio to allow the engine to work as designed and to prevent damage.

Sadly, no. Since 1996 British Seagull no longer produces engines. The British Seagull Dealer network has been closed down. Parts continue to be available for most models via the parent company, Sheridan Marine in the UK, who has been very good about maintaining a spares inventory. British Seagull Stockists are also available in locations around the world. Stockists maintain an inventory of British Seagull parts and can order parts from British Seagull in the UK.

There are three possible answers here. Please note that you MUST use the correct fuel mix for your motor or you will ruin it. The fuel mix MUST be fresh. As a rule of thumb a seagull can use more but not less oil. Most British Seagulls use this ratio. If you have a pre 1979 engine, the fuel mix will be 10:1 UNLESS it was converted to run on 25:1. Newer 1979 and newer seagulls with black thumb lever throttles and black carb bodies use the 25:1 mix.

Lets start by saying that this is a VERY good question. Its not a particularly easy question to answer because it gets into opinions and emotions and history and reality and legends and fiction and fact. And other things too! It also depends on your intended use. And your resources. And interests. There are a lot of variables. Lets see if we can help make the choice a bit clearer for you. If you are looking for a high speed outboard for a vessel with a planning hull then forget about a seagull.

To read more about British Seagull engines you should first start with the operator handbook and service manual. The operator handbook provides information about how to mount, start, and operate your engine and it also offers in a concise and candid format some suggestions about good seamanship. The service manual offers a collection of service sheets on all the service operations you would do on a seagull.

the pump, pour a bottle of Viscon into your tank before filling up. The mixing action of fuel pouring into your tank will adequately blend Viscon with your fuel. If you are driving a fuel injected car, the re-circulation pump will continue to mix the additive with your fuel. Once mixed, Viscon will stay suspended in your fuel indefinitely. Not even freezing the fuel, which requires extremely low temperatures, will cause the active ingredients of Viscon to settle out.

Very well. Acetone has a 100% solubility rate, even in water, so the mixture formed with gasoline is complete. (This comment is being investigated) "If there is water (even small amounts from condensation) in the fuel and the engine is fuel injected, especially diesel engines, the acetone will form an emulsion with the water and corrode injector pump and damage injector tips, according to GM and various fuel injector manufacturers. Check with your vehicle manufacturer before using."

You should not allow the tank to become empty, and then add 50% of lower octane, followed by 50% of higher octane. The fuels may not completely mix immediately, especially if there is a density difference. You may get a slug of low octane that causes severe knock. You should refill when your tank is half full. In general the octane response will be linear for most hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuels e.g. 50:50 of 91 and 95 will give 93.

The fuel-oil mixture ratio for all Poulan two-cycle products is 40:1. You can obtain this ratio by mixing 3.2 oz. of oil with one gallon of regular gas. If you have other brands of equipment that require different fuel/oil ratios and you don't want to mix separate fuel cans, you should use the lowest numerical ratio. For example, if you have products requiring 40:1, 50:1, and 32:1 ratios you should use the 32:1 ratio for all products.

Mix 3.2 ounces of Poulan 2-cycle air cooled engine oil to one gallon of fresh unleaded gasoline to obtain the recommended 40:1 fuel to oil ratio. Over a period of time oil will separate from gasoline. To properly insure oil and gas mixture,we recommend thoroughly shaking your oil and gas mixture before refueling your unit. Back to Top >>

No. While the majority of SPW's overseas volunteers are British, an increasing proportion are from continental Europe, Australasia and the Americas. Applicants from overseas are encouraged where possible to attend one of the selection/assessment days in London; they will also have telephone interviews. And half of our volunteers are recruited locally, in the countries we work in. If you are from Australia then check out our new website www.spw.org.au

The Seagull? IV unit is very compact, with the X-1 and the X-2K models being less than 6 inches in diameter and, in the case of the X-1, less than 6 inches high. The X-2K model is less than 11 inches high. These sizes easily fit alongside disposals and other equipment normally installed beneath the kitchen sink. And because they typically are installed with flexible tubing, they can be removed from the hanging bracket and brought out from underneath the sink for servicing.

Only mix as much liquid as you can use in 1 to 2 hours. Once mixed with water, Stain Solver only has a "pot life" of about 4 - 6 hours. After that time, it no longer produces the stain fighting oxygen ion!

During the mix, the edited production dialogue and ADR, sound effects, Foley and Musical elements that will comprise the soundtrack are assembled in their edited form, and balanced by a number of mixers to become the final soundtrack. In New York, single-mixer sessions are more commonplace than in Hollywood, where two-mixer and three-mixer teams are the norm.

A Mix Album is a user-defined list of songs. The user can create, name, and edit Mix Albums with the Web Utility or the onscreen display. A Mix Album can be played just like any other album.

No. All the lead substitutes (phosphorous, potassium, sodium and manganese) are unsuitable for mixing with leaded fuel, or indeed with each other. LRP is now almost unobtainable.

Bioheat® fuel is the industry-accepted term for any blend of pure biodiesel with conventional high or low sulfur home heating oil. The heating oil must meet its specification, ASTM D 396 and the biodiesel must meet its ASTM specification, ASTM D 6751, before blending them together.

Fuel injection is a replacement for the carburetors that were around since the dawn of the automobile. There are many basic types of fuel injection, but we should start by saying what a fuel injector is - it's basically an atomizer, something that sprays a mist of gasoline into the air. This helps the gas to mix better with the air and stay in an even suspension, so that it burns more evenly and creates less pollution and more power. (Think of cooking spray vs.
