Non-oxy gas

Postby kokko » Thu Nov 14, 2013 1:45 pm

After posting a reply to problems of using the ethanol gas blends, I found this useful link to places that sell ethanol-free gas.

Thanks for the link. I'll check one of the listed stations for getting lawn-mower gas.

Thanks kokko,

I was pretty sure I had not seen or heard of any ethanol free gas around here.

Awesome link! Had no idea so many places sold it ...

Got some 87 from Gentry Oil in Deland FL. They're on the list. A bit pricey at $6.3-something/gal, but a gal will last me a loooooooong time! ;-P

Here in Wisconsin pretty much every station sells no-ethanol high octane. Costs about $0.50-0.75/gal more than the cheapest grade. I always use that and a shot of fuel stabilizer whenever filling a gas can for the outboard, mower, snowblower, or chain saw. No fuel-related problems for years. Cheap insurance.

Good to know when I fix the damage done by ethanol to my 2hp Evinrude model 1940. It would work better with no ethanol gas.
