    Ha ,I have a refinery about 10 miles away which I spent many a day working in and if I never see the insides of another refinery in my life that would suit me just fine .

    It probabley doesn't make that much diff but I always run high test in all the two cycle stuff .Pshaw the the old tractor and the lawn mowers I could probabley run kerosine because they'll burn anything I dump in them --old saw gas for one .

    Other than AV gas I have no idea where a person could buy it .Maybe something like Cam II race gas is all .

    I just don't understand all this ethanol problem. Other than eat up carb diaphragms I really haven't had any problems with it .At least not to point most seem to have . Now I know the gasoline in Ohio is not any different than gas in California ,Florida ,Vermont or BF Eygpt .There has to be...

    If it's sucking up water keep it in a sealed can . We have ethonal at some stations ,some not but I think they all put a tad bit in it in winter ,I haven't had a frozen fuel line in years but it used to common place .Back in the "dry gas " days I bought it by the case ,well not quite ,5...

    Say ,I wonder if C. is using those Mantis style tillers that use a two stroke ? If so they develop the same problems as a weedwacker ,chainsaw blower whatever . More times than not while being fuel related the problems can be traced to inactivity just like on a 4 cycle . I don't know the...

    Most of the problem with a tiller is the fact they only get used a couple of months per year in this part of the country . About like a snow blower come winter or the lawnmower come spring time . Fact is I had a fight with my leaf vac last fall that about sent me into a fit . Those Briggs...

    Well,all gas had tetrethyel lead in it before maybe 1970 .A little lead most likely won't hurt you ,maybe put some lead back in the pencil ,who knows . The lead additive was an anti knock compound but also served as a lubricant for the ex valve on a 4 cycle engine .Of course they developed new...

    Actually the reverse is true .Av gas burns slower therefore prevents or curtails pre ignition . In addition to higher compression an internal combustion gasoline engine is effected by altitude regarding pre ignition therefore the reason for av gas in the first place . I see no reason why mix...
