Ya. Ethenol free 90+ octane premix. My saws have never seen ethenol.
Neil, no disrespect, I know you are passing on info you read. But, I've been running saws for just about 50 years. From the straight 30 oil days to Stihl synthetic. I cooked one saw, and it was my fault. It had a screw stripped in the top of the carb and was sucking air, and I kept running it. Then I had an XL700 I got on ebay and the PO had been running it on ether. Neither actually seized, but the rings melted into the pistons. So, when I hear of a brand new saw melt down, I wonder if we are getting the whole story. A while back someone came on hear ranting how the dealer would not honor the warranty on his saw because of driver error. He swore up and down that he had used nothing but the oil mix that came with the saw. After many people telling him his story didn't add up, he finally said he ran out of mix and figured one tank of straight gas wouldn't hurt. I take care of my equipment, but I DO NOT take it easy on them. I'm not a builder or racer, virtually all of my saws are set/tuned as they were at the factory. I have no problem throwing my 40+ year old Super 1050 on the mill with Stihl 50:1, Homelite called for 32:1, and running it for 8-10 minutes at WOT, and it shows no sign if tiring out.The chain is sharp, and I don't put my 230 pounds on it. It must have many billions of RPM's on it. I just wonder what people do to kill new saws?
Unfortunately, I don't know of a source of E-free fuel here in MD. I can get it in WV, and I used to get 5 gallons every time I went up, but I didn't like switching back and forth, so now I stick with the same fuel I get at home. It never really has a chance to get stale, I go through about 5 gallons a month, and mix mine in 5 gallon batches.
Iv never had an ethanol related problem and the 011 and ms250 used to sit with fuel in the tanks for 6-8 months at a time. Iv learned a lot since joining the forum. Now if my mix makes it 30 days it goes in the car and I make new.
Theres always room for another oil thread right

Yes you are!

. I've done nothing to these two pieces of equipment except changed out the filters and lines and the recoil on the backpack blower twice because water gets in it when it's sitting outside on my trailer.

When I was picking up the junkyard homelite, I also spied a piece of 4x4 angle. So I scrounged it too. Made for a nice trailer, trailer hitch. Now I won’t have to make two trips to bring my boat!
I dont buy E-free gas at the pump. VP fuels in gallon jugs 90+ octane ethenol-free 50:1 premix. TSC, Rural King and other places all have that. It's $3 cheaper than the Husky premix stuff per quart.
