Shop Talk : STIHL Motomix discussion : why I use these alkylate fuels

[@jwoods345]

I started using moto mix with my new fs91r trimmer this summer and have went through almost a gallon so far. First thing I noticed is the minimal smell compared to gasoline. So far it is burning very clean as well and my trimmer starts in one or two pulls. Im really liking it.

The argument from the left coasters is that the fuel is too expensive, and the proponents of said argument claim $8-9 gal of mix vs $35 gal of motomix is cheaper , and if we look at it on face value they then are correct. However, when we consider health and the detrimental long term effects associated with repeated exposure to all the nasties that can be present in pump gas the scales tip in the other direction. IMHO the additional cost is well worth all the benefits of using the product vs mixing your own. If the value of cut wood fetches 150 and it’s .80c for pump/mix vs $3.20 for the motomix fuel cost I’m going with the alkylate fuel. Your nickel , saws and health

@@fabzacres-blackcat I also like the stability of it and I believe it’s going to be better in the long run for the engine. Yes it’s more expensive but it’s for a reason. So far for me it’s been superior to gas. I’m probably going to start using it in my saws.

Oh do tell ! 😀

"Over in Europe they won't even let you run gasoline, you can't even mix it, you gotta use this stuff" - where are you getting your information from? I'm here in Europe buying fuel and 2-stroke oil no problem...?

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

Uhh 🙄 that info would be from the guys that cut over there 👉 Certain areas mandate it from what I was told … Nobody’s saying that YOU can’t cut wood in your backyard with gas/oil mix IF you live in Europe so ….

[@teamflashtv]

@@fabzacres-blackcat Confusing how you can say "Nobody's saying that" when I directly quoted you saying exactly that. I'm a guy in Europe cutting both professionally and at home, and I'm telling you we're free to buy petrol, oil, and mix them together. We don't "gotta use this stuff" as you wrongly state. Maybe you're confusing 2-stroke mix with synthetic bar oil which is banned in favour of vegetable oil in some public cutting jobs here. I do believe Sweden (and probably some other countries) provide Aspen to employees for government-run cutting jobs. But that's very different to the mis-truths you're confidently stating here in your video 🙄👉🧠👌🌲🌍👍

@@teamflashtv yah , my info comes from folk who actually live / work there and unless they are being deceptive (which I don’t think is the case) I believe them. Thank you for sharing your perspective perhaps I misspoke when I said over in Europe , I should have said in certain areas of Europe- thanks for confidently pointing that out to me - In any event I wouldn’t use pump fuel in the USA 🇺🇸 let alone the fuel they have across the pond. Breathing the nasty chemicals (benzene) are just not worth it to me. There are several studies that show long term exposure to these chemicals may cause health issues and quite a few of them originate across the pond. You might want to check out this link where this full time logger sez he gets 2000+ hrs from his saws on motomix…. Heck I’ve had hi-compression lipstick 💄 build come in to my shop that grenaded in less than 200hrs so …. www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/new-stihl-saws-for-2021.23781/post-1042861 …. Thanks for watching 😎

A true northern pollock 🤦going by the book. These book people have no COMMON sense 🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@fabzacres-blackcat]

Yah , well why don’t you go READ the studies on long term exposure to gasoline and all the wonderful chemicals you’re breathing on a regular basis running pump gas before ya go flappin ur yapper! You west coast know-it-alls are thicker than manure and about 1/2 as useful ! Why I’d just luuuuuv to get some of you loudmouths over here in NY on cut / split duty - u wouldn’t last until noon… Any jamoke can fell a tree let’s see ya buck / split and stack pal. Cry me a river 😂
