Pre mix 50:1 vs straight non ethanol in cans....

[Huskybill]

I have the husky 50:1 pre mix in cases on hand. I also have tru non ethanol in cans too. The misses was cleaning up and put the non ethanol gas in the pre mix card board box. My son went to gas up the saw and found the non ethanol fuel in the pre mix box. Thank god my son is quick witted with common sense. Straight gas in the pre mix saws spells disaster.

How much is a can of Tru ?

I have a rule with my gas cans... the 1 gallon cans are the only cans that contain premix, and are the only size cans I fill my 2 strokes with. Straight gas is never stored in any 1 gallon can. Also... Make sure it's not clear when you pour it.

Good on your son for catching that!

These are in quart cans. Since there’s no big jobs right now a quart can is perfect to test run saws. I use the tru non ethanol in my mower.
The wife is a neat freak.

That pre-mixed fuel is WAY too expensive for me.

 

[Huskybill]

I had tractors parked since I been sick with ethanol fuel in them. I never seen carbs so gummed up in my 59 years of rebuilding them.

Shelf life of corn fuel is around 2 months anymore. My vette has sat a month since i nuked 1st gear and i started it yesterday and could smell the rancid fuel smell out the exhaust. I use 2gals of mix a week and 12 to 15 gallons of non mix a week in my shop...no time for it to go bad.

Time to stock pile non ethanol fuel mixed with seafoam or husky fuel stabilizer.

Why?

My ex-wife years ago used my premix jug in the lawnmower...then refilled it with straight gas......guess who didn't catch it until the 3.7 Craftsman died a horrible death.

I run 50:1 in everything even my mower. Eliminates confusion

My cans are marked:
E10
NOE
NOE 2S
diesel
K-2
K-1
I only have one guy/neighbor that occasionally borrows a saw (cheapo usually a plastic poulan)
Standing agreement
If it runs out he must bring it to me to fill... for free. So far so good

Dang Bill, bullet dodged. High-5 to your son.

I thought about buying the 4 stroke mix and adding my own oil, but was kind of afraid of something similar happening on accident, especially as the oil I have has very little dye.

I have three 5 gallon gas cans, only one is full of gas, the rest are diesel. None are marked. Keep thinking I should mark them, but it's only me that fuels any of my equipment. So far so good, but I know it's only a matter of time before I brain fart and put diesel in the pressure washer or gasoline in my truck.

Tru fuel is around $17.00 a gallon here. I have bought it sometimes, but, after the 3rd one this season I am going back to mixing my own mostly with a side of sometimes pre mixed.

Have a 1 gallon and 2.5 gallon Wavian NATO cans well marked. The 2.5 is multiple users need to be well marked!! Using non ethanol 91 octane.

Ive been using the 50-1 Tru Fuel mix no problems my chainsaws run good on it. When I was mixing my own hi test gas Sthil premium oil it would sputter. Since using Tru Fuel no more sputtering. I dont use my saws everyday but I can tell the difference.

I live in the uniontown pa area. We have a marathon station in town that carries the 90 octane non ethanol for just under $4 a gallon. All my small enines get it. I recently found that there is a new gas station/dairy queen in the cheat lake wv area that has non ethanol for about $3.20 a gallon. Hope this helps someone!

Octane? Actual location? I'm north of Connellsville but might need to make a trip.
