BlueHaze; interesting link, thank you
Chris; good to know! I put stabilizer in all my stored gas as I never know how long they will sit. I live rural and after many nasty storms that have left us without power for periods of time, I began storing fuel for the generator and small equipment. I usually don’t mix fuels until needed and if I have straight gas sitting more than 3 months, I dump it into one of the vehicles and refill the cans. I used to run my chainsaws, leaf blower and genny dry, but learned that this caused problems from dryout, so now I run them every 2-3 months for a bit and top up with fresh fuel which seems to work well, which I suppose skirts "long term" storage issues.
Your thoughts piqued my interest though. I can see that carb rebuilds are mandatory for any old motors that I acquire, as are fuel lines. Just wondering though, are the dual fuel lines still available NOS, or are they remanufactured with upgraded rubber that are compatible with alcohol fuels?
PugetSound, great link! thanks
