I can't find any ethanol free gas in town, it all has 10% ethanol. Has anyone tried any of this ethanol shield oil with their augers? It says it protects your engine from ethanol.
esox_xtm agree on the SeaFoam as a additive http://blog.iceforce.com/news/strikemaster-pre-season-pro-tip-dont-add-extra-oil-to-your-fuel/ from above linkIn most areas in the Ice Belt, winter-grade gasoline is available November 1 through April 1. Premium fuel will ensure peak performance for your auger.
I know it is probably overpriced, but don't they sell ethanol free fuel in small amounts at Home Depot for small 2 cycle motors? If I recall correctly it was somewhere over by the grass trimmers.
Switch to trufuel or a premix longer shelf life and better for your auger
Agreed. I love the pre mix. I don't use a lot of it, so it is always fresh. Had to many issues with ethanol gas going bad before I could use it all. Non E gas I could mix a gallon and have it all season. no issues.Just keep a quart can in the sled. Less smoke and no issues.
