What kind of gas is at gas stations? Is it not 100% gasoline?
Someone else probably answered this...

Usually it's got around 10% ethanol. Small engines don't like the stuff, and older engine parts were't built to support it. You have to shop around for a gas station that carries ethanol free gas. Also watch for a hose full of the ethanol stuff if the pump dispenses both. I usually run a gallon into the truck, and then start filling cans to make sure the hose is clear.
 
I seem to get around it by starting everything once a month whether that needs it or not. I’ve not had too much trouble in recent years. Knocks wood.
Older small engines weren't built with ethanol resistant rubber seals, diaphragms, etc. The ethanol can mess those up. Won't matter how often you start it. Ethanol can also absorb water, causing other types of corrosion not normally seen. I've seen some brass parts in carbs grow a white crusty powder type coating. Clogging up all sort of things it shouldn't...

I ran ethanol free premium in the mustang, as that didn't get a lot of driving some months of the year.
 
U know..nm..wow..I'm all of a fem size 7.5
That's pretty common for women... I wear a clodhopping size 11 in womens (9.5 mens - they're cut wider). Most of my sisters are between 5.5 and 7.5 :rolleyes: Nothing dainty about me. So if you need to feel small, dainty, and or feminine... come sit by me... I don't bite (unless asked nicely) 😁

Lots of gas talk today... but you're the first to mention a hose-full if it pumps both ways :oops:
Got here. Not wild about the lodging, but it'll be adequate and it's only 2 nights. I'll be in the other town for a few weeks-r-months and I'll be able to do a bit of shopping for places.


I gave the Kittehs all some human time before leaving them.
Thanks for checking in... glad you arrived safely. Bummer about the lodgings. Nice you'll have time to shop around before the next visit there again.
😻 Kitteh time!!
 
Not even going to discuss my non ass ...if think id need an ass to balance me out and keep from tipping over... somehow I make it
I'm sure you are fine!!
OMG - just saw something about ass-implants.
bottom line: don't do it!!
Did you know they can easily move out of place?? :oops:
Maybe that's just if done wrong or on the cheap? IDK
