Guess who's back
i ran a cup of diesel per tank in my modified lawnmower, ran a little smoother, but it is modified
Why put the diesel in? Not trying to be a jag, just curious.
Possum, why do you run that mix? What benefit does it provide? I'm not doubting you, I just want to understand what I'm missing.
Do your saws have catalytic converters? Isn't the lead in 100LL bad for the cat?
I would bet that possums pistons and cylinders are clean as a new plate.
Around here we have sign on the pump saying up to 10% ethanol and that seems to be fine in all cars. The E85 which is only 5% more you have to have a special car that is designed to run on the stuff. I think because of the fuel lines are different. How does that 5% make that much difference or does it? Thanks.
No E85 is 75% more thats why you need a car designed to run it
Look at post 19
That's just the way we've always mixed. We have an 028wb that's 34 years old and this summer I tore it down to look around. It Stihl looked new inside, I went ahead and put a $12 pair of rings in it and it runs like new again. When you get that kind of service out of it why change the mix. It came from my sawmillng Gran paw.
I don't know if it is the 100Av fuel or the diesel or the combination of it all but like I said it's worked for us so far. We run the crap out of these saws they don't sit in the shed like alot of um do, so go figure. This is all that we run in all of the saws we have right now. We run 18 work saws and have a back up stable so if one by chance goes down. The only thing we've had to happen in a long time, we had four oilers to go out in one week. This was not from the mix we run, it's the time we run um. Okay I'm done I'll shut up and move on. The End
Around here I see 10%.
blitz, have you tested it or that's just what is advertised on the pumps?
Go back and reread that post I fixed it I think. I do know to put in the mix oil. It works for me.
The EPA has really ruined diesels in this country.
I know why someone would put diesel fuel in with there 2cycle mix?
