I know this topic has been beat to death over the years, but I never paid much attention to it because I never used any additives in my gas. I still don't need to for the saws, but after 3 plugs in a year, plus a carb rebuild, and now another cleaning, I'm going to start using seafoam for my ATV, and probably for my lawn mowers too while I'm at it. I tried using Stabil, but that hasn't helped anything. Some times I go through 5 gal of gas in a month when mowing, or doing a lot of running around out at the farm on the ATV, and sometimes the weather gets dry and the lawn mower sits for over a month and I'm left with a pair of 5 gal fuel cans of gas that's been sitting in the garage for 3 months. I'm going to start adding the prescribed amount of seafoam, and was wondering if it would hurt to use that fuel (when fresh) for mix for the saws. I always use Stihl mix, and I generally go just a tad heavy on the oil. I buy the little bottles that make 2.5 gal, but I only get 2.2 gal of fuel in the can. Right now I take the 2 cycle oil with me and fill the can up directly at the gas station, but sometimes I'm really tempted to grab a 5 gal can that has been recently filled and use it instead. Wondered what you guys thought about it.
