I have been using Marathon Non-ethanol fuel at 90 octain here in Virginia now for years. It lasts a year or two in a can and even longer it seems when mixed with good two stroke oil. All my tractors, mowers, weed wackers, snow blowers and leaf blowers run great year after year!!
Ethanol is the enemy!!
Yeppers, Murphy's has 87 non ethanol, still add some stabil.
The Government is the enemy for making us use this ethanol garbage
AGREE - Ethanol is the enemy!!
Almost zero problems prior to ethanol. We had all kinds of farm machinery with large & small gas engines, we usually turned of the fuel valve and walked away. Sometimes it would be 4 or 5 years later and they started on old fuel toped off with fresh and no problems. Used ethanol a few years and had all kinds of problems. Now I pay an extra buck a gal. for the non in small engines and it seems to work much better.
After paying for spring carb cleaning two years in a row, switched to and only use non ethanol pure gas in my small engines. That was ~20 years ago. I burn or drain all the gas in the tank each fall. And pour what's left in the gas can into the truck and buy fresh pure gas each December when prices are at its lowest.
On equipment that I can example lawn mower I use gasoline through the season. At the end of the season the last one or two cuts I use the canned gas. I let it run through the system while cutting which cleans out all of the regular gas and what remaining is the non-ethnol gas. This has worked for years for me.
I have been recommending exactly what you you recommended for the last 4 years now. And I’ll be darned if few people actually do it or bring it to me to do it for them. You can lead a horse to water….
What about flooding the carb with ATF? As a very long term solution.
Taryal fixes all is a great channel to watch besides your channel
keep the videos coming to Pittsburgh Pa.
I 1000% Agree with you on everything you said. I always run Tru-Fuel in my equipment. Sure it's pricey, but cheaper than a repair bill. Chickanic said engineered fuel is garbage 😆 I absolutely disagree I've been using it for years and never had a single issue with my equipment starting!!!! Thank you MM1 for all your amazing content
I run regular gas with Briggs fuel stabilizer in my mower and snow blower. I park them at the end of the season with out doing anything to them. The blower is 12 years old and the mower is 9 years old. Both powered by Briggs.
Great tips Jeremy, thanks for the video brother. 👍
I think this is most common with bowl type carbs. it has been my experience with tank mounted carbs that this will not happen if you drain the fuel out of the tank. I recently pulled out a old push mower that I had stored for 21 years with the 3.5 hp briggs classic engine that I drained the fuel in when put in storage. I kinda forgot about the dang thing and pulled it out, filled the tank with fuel and it fired right up on the first pull without having to do any tweaking or tinkering to it. I was shocked!
just remember that any fuel residue from 21 years ago isn't what we have today.
Every season I always top off with fresh ethanol free fuel and stabilizer. Never had a problem. One year (as an experiment) I, drained out all the fuel. The next season, I had a leak at the carb. Had to take it apart and clean the needle and seat.
Went right back to fresh fuel, and stabilizer. For me it’s the best option.
I’ve been using a lil trans fluid through the carb before I store small engines and have been for many years. My snowblower sat for 4 yrs , I put fresh gas in it and it started on 3rd pull
Living in the northeast, I use engineered fuel for my 2 cycle engines and 90 octane ethanol free gas in my snowblower and lawn tractors. No issues!
I have seen dirt in the bottom of the float bowl so I always clean out the float bowl , when I am draining for the season . To avoid these problems , so far so good .
After 53 years of not doing anything special before storing equipment for winter (and sometimes longer) with ethanol and non-ethanol fuel, I've never had a problem. In spring if an engine doesn't want to start I remove the air filter and pour a small amount of fuel into the carburetor and the engine will usually start on the first pull. I have some 40 year old gasoline that I'm going to try before long and I'll bet it works just fine. BTW, my equipment has both two and four cycle engines.
I run engineered fuel in all of my 2-stroke equipment year-round. (About 2 gallons a year @ $24 a gallon).
But that's too expensive to use in my rider and push mower, (20 gallons a year) and unfortunately I cannot buy non-ethanol pump gas where I live.
So I treat my ethanol gas all summer with a mix of Stabil-360 and Sea-foam.
At the end of the season, I remove all of that from the tanks and then run the engineered fuel through the systems and let that stay in there through the winter.
A lot of guys say the treated ethanol gas is just fine for winter storage. To each their own, but I'm not risking it.
Home Depot also sell their brand Power Care.
I recomend Aspen 2 mix or Aspen 4 or any similar small engine gasoline for winter storage to our customers, at least those who ask. My idea is without the ethanol or other substances in pump gas would help. I don't like those dried out carbs at all hehe. Carb rep kit $50, brand new carb $125. Plus $50 to rebuild the carb instead of replacing. (Nicky) Customers usually choose a new carb. Thanks for the upload! Very much appreciated 😊👍

My stuff always runs and starts right up every time I use regular gas with Sta-bil works all the time for me.
every time i drain my ice auger carberautor for the summer. the rubbers for the needle and diaphragm dry out. so i add fuel stabilizer and leave it full of gas.
Good tips Jeremy. That’s exactly what I do. 🔧👍🇬🇧
I kind of thought I called Gum buster. You should in a special cleaner through the hole where the not only goes and it blast the carb out and leaves a substance that keeps the carb good or winter. I think they have a RUclips channel as well. Very innovative
Great advice, IF you can get to the float bowl. In some cases, you can't. ('suitcase' generators) What I do, is turn off the fuel, run the carburetor out of fuel, then wait a few minutes. what happens, is the fuel line finally get a bubble, and the fuel comes out of the fuel line and filter, partially re-filling the float bowl! it's necessary to put on the choke, and re-start the engine. Running the carburetor out with the choke on, creates a much higher suction to the main circuit, emulsion tubes, as well as the idle circuit. I don't mind a little fuel residue in the float bowl, as long as it's well below the level of the main jet, and the idle circuit. Just letting it 'run out of gas' isn't good enough!
Great Idea !!!!
Yeah take the blot out .. if not it will be coming back next season
What are your thoughts on putting automatic transmission fluid in the fuel lines and carburetor before long term storage?
Ive heard unleaded fuel sitting causes corrosion binding of jets etc into carb bodies...also 2 stroke oil is left to solidify after fuel has evaporated
Is aviation fuel better for that purpose than engineered fuel?
Do not use ethanol gas ever!
Some places do not have ethanol free gas
You mean to tell me that where you live, there’s no gas stations with ethanol free gasoline. They’re at least one or two in most cities in South Georgia.
Modern government exists to make our life more difficult. Ethanol in the gas, a gas can that is supposed to not spill gas, and now causes more gas to be spilled, cramming electric equipment down our throats, despite the infrastructure not being there to support it. The can and do screw up a two car funeral. And some believe government should be given more power and responsibility. Ugh!
Oh. I love your channel. I look forward to seeing your videos. They’re very informative and your advice is spot on. Keep up the good work.
@@rogerwynn2131 most places now at less 10% ethanol free getting harder and harder to find even here in ky and were usally last to phase in new stuff like that
Lot of videos on RUclips call that engineered fuel a no no, I personally like it but it burns hotter so you gotta retune your carbs a bit richer on saws and such that I've noticed with my stuff
iv seen some that was 100% water new out of can wouldnt even burn with blow torch on it iv used Sta-bil for years and its not failed me yet tho my stuff only seats 6 months max
Always drain carb aswell been there done that
now that was a good video...........informative,,,,,,,,,,no wasted jibber jabber,,,,,,,,,,,,,stuck to the point............valuable tips...........and accurate info........thanks.....
Any Sta-bil, would have prevented this if it wasn’t run dry. Perhaps Seafoam, Mechanic in a bottle, or Startron can clean this out while running.
I watched the whole series! Don’t by the snake oil. Non-ethanol 87 will work just fine if you can Afford VP do it. I have a question and will be looking into email of yours!
Ethanol free gas with one ounce of sea Foam per gallon
🤔🏁I will tell you what is best for any carburetors you are wrong I am a Real ASE certified Master Auto Mechanic with over 60 years of real experience use ATF automatic transmission fluid and store any generator carburetor or any engine has a carburetor and that carburetor will last almost forever I really do know I am a real auto technician or a Master Auto Mechanic with over 60 years of real experience I have did this to my carburetors and my carburetors have lasted 30 and 40 years with NO real problem
I have also heard if people using a small amount ATF run into the carb? what do you think of doing that. Chickanic pumps 2 cycle oil through two cycle carbs?
She also said canned fuel is garbage!! I've used it for years and never not once had an issue!!!! All my equipment starts right up with 0 hesitation
Have you ever heard of rain in your fuel out of your carburetor in the foot ATF transmission fluid in there from the line into the carburetor
All my engines with carburetors use high octane fuel Shell V-power 93 octane no ethanol or Chevron premuim 94 octane no ethanol.
You do realize it all gasoline comes out of the same spigot whether it’s Walmart gas or Chevron gas etc.
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 So your saying which octane gas handles you pull from the pump,it's all the same octane?
Please explain.
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 gas stations regulated in Canada by TSSA if they get caught cheating big fines$$,Friend blew up is high performance engine using a gas station high octane fuel he had it tested wasn't 94 octane, they paid for a new engine and all the labor over$20,000!
@@beachbums2008 ... not the same octane but the same base blend of fuel in many cases.
I've been using sta-bil in my chainsaws, weed eaters,pressure washers,lawnmowers,generators etc. for the last several years and no problem starting them up when I need them year after year.
What is your opinions on sta-bil if you use this product?
Inquiring minds want to know of you opinions.
Keep the videos coming to Pittsburgh Pa. where we have 4 seasons.
I was wondering the same especially if you would buy like 1 or 2 gallons of fresh gas with that in it burn the engine dry of gas 2x regular gas then with stabilizer in it.
I forgot to mention, I put the sta-bil with 87 octane gasoline
No problems year after year
I use Tru-Fuel in my equipment. I mean I've never had issue with Stabilizer but I've only used it a couple times.
Johnstown Pa here
Same goes for the atv I'm guessing?
That carb replacement isnt 250$, You Can buy a new carb for 17$
After doing what you suggested do I fill it with regular or premium gas?
Just fill it with regular gas when you start using it next year.
Eye opening. The crummy gasoline that we have now sabotages our equipment. Its a wonder it even burns without leaving a lot of residue.
90 oct NO eth here in all my 2 stroke...
Question I have had is this- What do you do when you have saws, blowers, alot of two stroke stuff. And you need to put them away for years. Like as in don't use for years 5 plus. Because I pretty much see I am screwed here. Short of every so often going through them all dumping all gas out and putting fresh in. Starting and repeat the long storage. That or stuff is going to dry up, rot etc. I have the same case with alot of push mowers and riders. For me, that is alot of work and wasted gas to just store for ages not even running them one time. Same token if I don't I am screwed as gas will sit in carb if I run all out. Stuff will harden. So, what is the answer here short of like every year dumping all out and repeat storage sit with new gas? I'm talking about like over 25 things I have to do this with. Some of the riders as well are like 5 gal tanks. This is aside from what I do use every season. For them I run 90 no eth all the time in my two stroke. Push and rider gets eth gas in season. Winter storage all fresh 90 no eth gas and STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer.
the real answer is to either store them dry or drain and refill once a year, plus a short run. Drained fuel (with stabilizer) can be used up in your car... in small quantities if necessary. (couple of gallons a week if you have lots to get rid of) I do this with my generator, which is kept full for outages. I also date my gas cans and rotate fresh fuel at least twice a year. (no stabil in there)
Fill all the way up with ethanol free and stable the next time you go to use them drain before starting put in fresh and run. Old gas add a small amount each tank after that, filtered
@@peteosinga8845 Sounds about right as a option, thanks.
I saw a video recommending running ATF through for long term storage.
@@thffhrewerrghdeg8681 ... I have seen both ATF and Marvel Mystery Oil used to prevent issues. Just remember, this only solves the problems created by moisture. The gas itself can still gum things up.
How about just running non ethanol fuel with fuel stabilizer all the time
in some areas of the USA you can't find non ethanol fuel at the pump.
I watched those taryl videos on fuel additives. Think it varies by location. I'm in wv I been running k100 with no issues for over 5 years now. K100 puts star tron and stabil to shame. My aren't new engines either. There 10 to 30 year old engines.
K 100 was the first one to fail in the Terrell video
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 yes I know. I have no problems using it though compared to the problem he had.
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 think it depends on the engines older engine had bigger jets todays stuff all epa regulated with small jets iv had new stuff that not run right cause factory hads to run them supper lean to pass epa laws
WHats your opinion on Sta Bil fuel stabilizer? Does it really protect gas for a year? I have had some bad luck with the engineered canned gas lately, not sure what is going on, but that stuff has caused more problems for me in the past than I care to think about. Thanks again for doing these videos, I love em.
