Husqvarna Xp Professional Performance 2 Stroke Mix - 12.8 Oz Bottle

What It Is

This is Husqvarna’s pre-mixed 2-stroke fuel (50:1 ratio) for gasoline-powered handheld equipment. It’s designed for use in Husqvarna string trimmers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, and hedge trimmers that require a 50:1 oil-to-gas mix.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine type: Only for 2-stroke air-cooled engines that specify a 50:1 fuel mix (2.6 oz oil per 1 gallon of gas). Do not use in 4-stroke or 2-stroke engines requiring a different ratio (e.g., 40:1 or 32:1).
• Brand fitment: Works in any brand’s 50:1 2-stroke equipment (e.g., Stihl, Echo, Ryobi, Poulan) – not limited to Husqvarna. No deck size or model-specific fitment needed; it’s universal for handheld gear.
• What to check before buying: Confirm your owner’s manual calls for 50:1 mix. Verify the bottle size (12.8 oz) treats 5 gallons of gas. Do not use in equipment with a separate oil injection system (some older models) or in 4-stroke engines.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Pre-mixed with high-quality alkylate gasoline and synthetic oil – burns cleaner, reduces deposits, and extends engine life compared to pump gas. No ethanol, so it won’t damage fuel lines or carburetors.
• Installation difficulty: No mixing required – just shake, open, and pour directly into the fuel tank. No measuring or blending needed.
• Common gotchas: Shelf life is about 2 years unopened (store in a cool, dry place). Once opened, use within 30 days or the fuel can degrade. Do not use in engines that require a different mix ratio – it will cause poor performance or damage.
• Cost vs. DIY mixing: At ~$12 for 5 gallons’ worth, it’s about 3x more expensive than mixing your own pump gas and oil. But it eliminates guesswork and ethanol problems.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you want a no-fuss, ethanol-free fuel for occasional use (e.g., seasonal trimming) or for storing equipment over winter. It’s ideal for small engines where you don’t want to deal with mixing or stale gas. Skip it if you use your equipment heavily and prefer the cost savings of mixing your own fuel.
