From pure-gas.orgAlaska: all gasoline is ethanol-free.
Not sure where this info came from but it's dated. Every gas station in brookings is running a minimum of 10% ethanol in all blends
I just found out a bit ago from someone else on IS that their state, which WAS ethanol free, as of October 31st, is now Ethanol.... I think it's being pushed down everyone's throat, regardless.
I lost my weed whacker and now hav e issues with my gas auger because of using gas with ethanol in it. Hopefully they can fix the auger.
Replacing gas lines and maybe a carburetor should make it run like new. Do note...that some carbs some in untuned for the engine.Most Premium Unleaded fuel is ethanol free, most should probably run this in their auger. Adding a fuel stabilizer with ethanol protection is not a bad idea either way.Seafoam is a miracle worker. It covers all of your bases. Also, Amsoil is probably the best oil to use as they are the only ones that have true synthetic. I like the Marine Saber or regular Saber oils.
Ten percent ethanol gas became a norm 25 years ago. Any company that can't engineer a motor to deal with it in that amount of time shouldn't be in business. The same goes for any "ethanol eats gaskets" argument. Buying and mixing more fuel than you'll use in a week or two is your own fault. Once a week, whatever's in the gas cans (summer gas for the mower, winter mix for the snow thrower) gets poured into my kids' car. They get an extra 10 to 20 miles, and I start every time with fresh fuel.
I have always used Stabil on all my 2 cycle tools in the summer for winter storage. I store them wet and they always start come spring with a few pulls. Should I do the same come late winter for my auger storage?
