Who wants to go in on a 54 gallon drum of VP SEF94 Fuel?

[blsnelling]

I've priced a 54 gallon drum of VP SEF94 small engine fuel for about $9.86/gallon. I want 10 gallons. I suspect Fatguy and Andyshine77 will want 5 to 10 each. I need some more guys to pitch in to make this doable. Who in the area wants to go in together on this? I will not ship it, and you'll need your own containers. I'm thinking I'll be picking it up the last week of the month.

thats a lot of dough for saw gas. i go thru 2 to 5 gallons a day.

 

[FATGUY]

I'm in for 5

I would only use it in my saws that set a lot. If using a saw for work, I'd still use pump gas.

 

[tlandrum]

have you ever tried stabil in your saw gas to see how it actually holds up in a saw thats sets around a lot.

That doesn't get rid of the alcohol. I want to be rid of it entirely.

Another alternatic here, is to simply buy it in 5 gallon pails. That would make it a lot easier to handle and transport. You also wouldn't need your own metal containers, knowing that it will store better in metal. The price difference is $49.30/5 gallons vs $57.50/5 gallons. What's your pleasure?

I sure would like to if you were closer. Do you think I could ship you an empty 5 gallon jug, and you could ship it back full? hahaha No doubt USPS wouldnt mind!

 

[tlandrum]

i take it that all your gas stations have went to ethanol gas. i am lucky enough to be able to get gas without ethanol less than a mile from my home.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah I have 4 stations within 5 miles of most of the roads I travel on so I don't even have to go out of the way to get non ethanol. If I was closer I wouldn't mind having it to put in the saws when I go to work for a couple weeks at a time and don't run them.

Like I said Brad, if you get it before Christmas you can count me in for 5 but I won't be there until June after that.

mdavlee: I have to drive to TN to get non ETOH fuel.

 

[mdavlee]

What part of Tn you driving into? We might be close enough to have a mini GTG.

 

[Trigger-Time]

Brad, do have any place that sell gas on lake or big river for boats.
I think all sell non-E gas here for boats and the have premium gas.


But guess you are looking for long term and maybe more go




TT

 

[blsnelling]

There is no where around here that sells ethanol free gasoline.

When are you leaving to head back home?

 

[little possum]

What octane is it Brad?

Just asking, why not 100AV?

 

[Outlaw5.0]

Its 94 octane and has a nice smell to it.

All of my modern saws idle poorly and have poor throttle response with it. I won't use it. It's designed specifically for engines that turn less than 3,000 RPMs, and has a very slow burn rate. It's simply not the best choice of fuel for a chainsaw.

Can't you buy that in 5 gallon containers? I buy some from a neighbor that has a dyno shop and he'll sell a gallon out of his 5 gallon container?

Yes. That's probably what I'll end up doing. Not everyone already has metal 5 gallon cans, and would be much easier to handle and transport.
