Fixing a Generator... Is Non-Ethanol Fuel Worth It??

[@onebradh]

I normally buy non ethanol fuel at the new dandy by Kohls for my weed wacker, but everything else gets regular unleaded gas with either startron or stabil treatment in all gas cans.

[@DirtRoadLife1]

I should definitely use stabil more than I do. I couldn’t believe the non ethanol is a whole $1 more. Crazy

[@jcnole77]

If you run those engines a lot it really doesn’t matter. It’s when it sits for too long

Hey Chris. I never have that problem with fuel. But that said they are slowly introducing ethanol to our fuel at around 10% for the cheap stuff. I think 3% in the 91. E free will eventually get harder to find.

[@DirtRoadLife1]

Agreed Kenny. It’s already difficult to find around here. Luckily though I must run stuff enough to not have much issues

[@OpenAirAdventureFirewood]

@@DirtRoadLife1 they're saying it really hard on chainsaws. Chickanic I believe said it messes them up.

My father in law works on small engines and that’s what he preaches most is the ethanol gums up everything…..not sure cost effectiveness but he swears by putting a little stabil ethanol treatment in your cans….kinda similar to diesel treatment just keeps stuff lubed and from drying out and corroding.

I’ve almost never had an issue with it maybe I’ve just been lucky! Lol

I have no problems with regular pump gas in all my stuff .,, but I am constantly running my small engines all year long , even if it’s just to start them for 3-5 minutes a month then put them back. Most people don’t do this. On the other side though I work on small engines constantly, tearing carbs down etc…. 25$ if very fair for that quick fix 👍. Later DRL. See you again brother

Good point Richy a little preventative maintenance goes a long way. Thanks for watching and catch ya soon!
