Good practice.
Here in the suburbs, many stations sell non ethanol gaspoline.The lawn equipment joint on the corner and Ace Hdwe stock the alkylate fuels . The problem with ethanol is the additives they blend with it are always changing. The manufacturers are having a hard time keeping the plastics and rubber type parts compatible.
Dont miss the stale gas yard gear here in the least! 14 inch snow, no problem. Flip the switch and a battery gets the snow blower going. Used to hate walking behind that smokey pos gaspoline clunker for an hour. Not to mention cleaning messy carbs etc. Yep, in time they all need that.
In the earlier, gasoline power days. I always used Coleman Fuel is gaspers with excellent resilts. Near zero carbon, very clean burning. S-40 Super Tigres to 4.7 cubic inch Homelites. Same fuel.
History now.
Methanol is still cheap and readily available.
