Re: Do you run ethanol free gasoline?

Startron is the better fuel life extender, IMO. We have no real gas in my area, only 90% gas/10% trouble. I run it in everything. I haven't had issues from over winter sitting and most of the time I never get around to adding Startron. I put that in my gas and mix cans, even though the mix oil has extender. Ethanol issues have snuck up on my stuff a few times. It's always when I let something sit unused a little too long. When I'm using my chainsaw a lot I use pump gas, like during winter. The rest of the time that and my weedeater get the canned 50:1 pure fuel. I just had to fix my saw again from sitting, so from now on it's the canned pure or fill the can at one of the two places I know sell ethanol-free. Both about an hour away. My truck I go out and start every few weeks and so far so good
