Stihl just sent me a manual for the 090 (I've got the Contra and this was the closest manual they offered). On page 22 is the following warning:
"Only regular gasoline may be used. Never use high octane gasoline as it contains benzol which would permanently damage the carburetor diaphragms."
The copyright date on the manual is 1990 and it states: "Printed in West Germany".
In light of recent discussions on gasoline use, here, I thought someone might have insight as to whether this applies to all chainsaws and secondly if benzol is added to higher octane gasoline here in the States, today?
