Ethanol Free gas

[stihltech]

Here we go again.If you want to store your fuel a long time, get the non ethanol IF there is no water in it when you get it. Many a saw comes in with the words "only run non ethanol" and find water in it. The last one was 1/4 tank.
Myself, regular ethanol fuel, put in an additive of you choice and use it up in 90 days.
Also, empty the fuel can before mixing the next batch (water will be in the bottom).
Again, a quart glass jar is one of my most used tools. And ANYBODY can use it!
Maters-commence!

All we get here in Canada is ethanol fuel now. Never an issue when treated before storage. For me, Seafoam in everything other than my vehicles and Sta-BIL before storage. I run the equipment then shut the fuel off if equipped until it quits.

I just replaced the carb on a generator that had E10 and was not run dry over the Summer. A fuel shut-off solenoid on the bottom of the bowl was corroded from water. The fuel also smelled pretty bad. I've seen metal fuel tanks rusted from E10 left in them over the Winter. I had Rec90 in my boat that sat for 1.5 years. I siphoned out about 20 gals and it still smelled good. I put it in my truck a couple gals at a time and had no problem. Didn't risk running it in the boat because of octane loss concern. I run Rec 90 in all my saws and yard equipment.
