MANAGING FUEL OIL MIXTURE IN ENGINES

摘要

A fuel tank containing a fuel and oil mixture is managed to determine if the fuel and oil mixture contains the correct ratio for a motor. The fuel tank containing a fuel and oil mixture is monitored. A fuel to oil ratio is selected for the motor. A combined viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture is calculated with respect to the fuel to oil ratio, and the temperature of the fuel and oil mixture. The combined viscosity is used to determine a predetermined range of the combined viscosity. The viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture within the fuel tank is measured as a measured viscosity. If the measured viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture does not correspond with the predetermined range, then a user may be alerted that the measured viscosity does not correspond with the predetermined range.

1. A method for determining a fuel to oil mixture ratio comprising:
selecting a fuel to oil ratio of a first motor for a fuel and oil mixture within a fuel tank, wherein the first motor is a two stroke motor; calculating a combined viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture at the fuel to oil ratio and a first temperature; determining, in response to calculating, a predetermined range of the combined viscosity; measuring a measured viscosity of the fuel and oil mixture within the fuel tank; and alerting a user that the measured viscosity of the fuel to oil mixture does not correspond with the predetermined range of the combined viscosity.
