Can anyone confirm the ratio of oil and petrol for a 2 stroke hedge trimmer?

20 to 1 seems more popular:

apparently depends on the quality of the oil.

25:1
That's for my chainsaw. It also has this measurement on the machine mart bottle I use for mixing, very handy. Smells great as well.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

What oil are you using?
It'll only have one plug.
This is a chainsaw but it works the same. It's only months old so it qualifies as nowadays I think.
