Hi Group,
I've been searching and searching, and I know that it's been discussed before, but God help me, I can't come up with anything, sooooooo... :help:
I've read that when you Modify a saw engine, most guys recommend running Premium Gas (93 Octane, isn't it)?
Can one safely run a non-modified saw on it?
I'm waiting on a few parts, but am in the process of rebuilding my 372XP, and was wondering about running Premium gas in it, when it is back together again. (Probably Sunoco 260).
Are most 'Regular' gasoline blends today mixed with Ethanol?
Does this mean that Premium gas doesn't have Ethanol in it??
- (And what exactly are the bad points with Ethanol? ...drives out the seals or softening)??
I've heard that when you run high octane gas, you get a hotter combustion process, and that could lead to spark plug electrode failure, a burnt piston etc. :msp_scared:
What's the 'general consensus' on all of this?
