I normally run 40:1 mix in my saws. I live in a small town. I have seen canned fuel but do you think I can buy ethanol free gas at MFA? I hate runnin ethanol through my saws.
I can't buy E-Free gas in my area. Several AF members say that it's not a big deal to use it. I currently use canned fuel.
Even using canned fuel, I still empty the fuel tank and run my machines at idle until they die.
The canned stuff is OK to leave in there unless the saw is being put up for a real real long time. Best is don't dump it out, but fill it up, less airspace in the tank.
For me, it can be rather long periods of non-use for my equipment.
It's just as easy for me to dump it back into the can and save it for future use.
Since you opened the can it really does not matter anymore if you store it in the can or in the saw.
Cleaning out an empty fuel container is a lot easier than cleaning out a gummed up carb.
I don't leave fuel in any of my OPE. That's just the way I am and I ain't gonna change.
Cool.
Canned gas like TruFuel will not gum up a carb in storage BTW.
Not asking you to change.
I can't get ethanol free gas in my area either. I add stabil to my 5 gallon tanks right at the gas station. I have to say, the only carbs I have had to clean and rebuild in the last several years were for friends and things like the pressure washer or snow blower sometimes 7 or 8 months without being used. If the canned fuel was in the 6 bucks or so a gallon price I might bite but at 20+, no way.
Conoco 91 premium is eth free in Missouri. That site doesn't list all sources and most clerks don't know what they are selling.I found a source! Check out this website to find non ethanol fuel in your state! http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=MO
