Jerry 976 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) I seen this video a few years back and several people have recommended using "Mechanic In a Bottle" or "Ethanol Shield" over the years. JMO I like this verses other additives out there for all of my gasoline equipment 2s or 4s. Click the link below and watch the video. The Mechanic In a Bottle is the yellow bottle in the middle of his test/video. https://www.veoh.com/watch/v27896358P59eQY2h Product links: https://b3cfuel.com/product-category/fuel-additives/ https://www.homedepot.com/b/Outdoors-Outdoor-Power-Equipment-Outdoor-Power-Replacement-Parts-Maintenance-Parts-Oils-Lubricants-Additives/Mechanic-in-a-Bottle/Fuel-Additive/N-5yc1vZbxaqZ7s0Z1z0uoqm Edited August 16, 2022 by Jerry 976 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry 976 Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 Any one try or use Tru-Fuel in their lawn equipment?? They sell premixed 50:1 - 40:1 or 4 stroke mix?? I've seen it in different big box stores and auto parts stores, man it's pretty pricey, around $25.00 us for a gallon can of it. Is it worth buying and using in stuff that doesn't get used that much or only a couple times a month or year??

I've never had a gas problem in any of my seasonal equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1995xcr600 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I believe using premium fuel with no ethanol and a good stabilizer has helped keep my chainsaw and trimmer going over the years without issues. Up here I use Shell Gold and Sta-Bil. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mstg Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I started using Husqie premixed fuel in my chainsaws and weedwackers, and have never needed to have a carb cleaned since. Worth every penny, hate cleaning those tiny carbs. I've tried the straight gas in my snowblowers, and it works well, but gets expensive. I went back to regular gas with Stabil on the snowblower and generator, which is adequate. I always run the gas out of the carb after using, because otherwise they'll need the carb cleaned next time I go to use them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link: - - https://trufuel50.com/ Yup, I use trufuel in my leaf blower, chain saw and weed whacker. I don’t have a huge lawn or cut a ton of wood so I use about 2-3 gallons a year sure it’s kinda pricey but the equipment always starts and runs perfect so it’s worth it to me.

It actually works well in the air cooled lawn equipment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
