Definitely good for burning brushpiles.
Ha no doubt!!!!! That's funny. Been 35+ years since I had the joy of pushing one of thoseI put mine into my Lawn Boy mower, it'll burn anything!
It is 99% how it's stored. I have yet to find a brand of gas that doesn't behave the same as the rest. I can keep regular pump gas well over a year in a sealed barrel. As long as it's air tight, it will last a long time. From time to time I have to relieve pressure or vacuum from it, but I try to limit that to as little as possible. I probably don't have to, but losing 55 gallons of gas inside my building one hot summer day would really piss me off - I err on the side of caution there. With ethanol dilution of today's gasoline, any exposure to the atmosphere starts the clock ticking. Ethanol absorbs any moisture from the air like a sponge, and there's only so much moisture it can hold before it falls out of suspension.When is 2 cycle gas "bad"? Fuel stabilizer is often added to 2 cycle oil. The quality of that stabilizer varies of course. Gas longevity depends on storage conditions and refinery additive package.
I started to watch a youtube video that spent at least 10 minutes explaining how to get "up to two years" from gasoline. I usually need no help getting 3 years in the dry and somewhat cool Colorado environment.
Having said that I don't let 2 cycle gas sit for over a year - as a rule.
Do they not sell non ethanol gas where you're from?With ethanol dilution of today's gasoline, any exposure to the atmosphere starts the clock ticking. Ethanol absorbs any moisture from the air like a sponge, and there's only so much moisture it can hold before it falls out of suspension.
Neighbor is still running one.Ha no doubt!!!!! That's funny. Been 35+ years since I had the joy of pushing one of those
Not at the pump. You can buy it at Home Depot, any other hardware stores, some gas station stores, and at outdoor power equipment and powersports dealers in the quart, half gallon, and 5-gallon cans. Comes out to well over $10 a gallon in most cases. You can get it at any airport for $5-$6 a gallon, but 100LL is leaded, so you'll eventually have to deal with lead fouling, or run an expensive anti-lead-fouling additive for aircraft, such as TCP (Roughly $50 a quart, but it works).Do they not sell non ethanol gas where you're from?
I was paying 2.99 for 90 octane rec fuel it has since jumped up to 3.59-79 a gal in michigan. 5$ a quart is crazy. Luckily the 10-12 5 gal cans I filled last year have went up in valueNot at the pump.

It's cheaper and easier to take a pile of gas cans, or a couple barrels and fill them up in a state that actually sells it at the pump, even factoring in fuel for the long drive.
https://www.pure-gas.org is a great site for finding them out of state. All the ones listed there for MA are all of the above businesses in cans. None of them are from a pump.
Man that sucks. All the gas station near me here in Idaho have it at the pump. When I lived in Ohio, I had to put more effort into finding it but it was still readily available.Not at the pump.

I paid $2.99 the last time I filled my barrel. Between that, the neighbor's 10 gallons, and topping off my truck, I spent $200 at that store. Looks like it'll be just about $400 for the same amount now ...I was paying 2.99 for 90 octane rec fuel it has since jumped up to 3.59-79 a gal in michigan. 5$ a quart is crazy.
