I know this subject has been discussed at length but opinions seem divided. Which fuel is best for premix 2 stroke engines?

 

Having heard more bad reviews for E10 than for premium E5, when I filled my Jerry can today I used Esso Supreme and mixed it with a tad more oil. Kawasaki brushcutter runs perfect on it and very clean. Seems to spin up faster too with a heavy triple point shredding blade, like it's got a bit more torque. Is it ok in my Husky 365?  

 

What is everyone else using?

Stihl reckon they changed design to cope with E10 over 18 years ago, haven't been able to find such a statement from Husqvarna except a US blog from 2011 saying all current products are E10 compatible so it depends how old your 365 SP is. I would think the xtorq 365 would be ok though.

Advice for not keeping fuel more than 30 days still stands, I always fill tanks end of day too as reducing air space is a way to reduce water absorption.

When I say old saw I'm talking 1994 Dolmar so I'm pretty sure E10 is risking it in that.

During the summer of 2021, the standard (95 octane) petrol grade in Great Britain will become E10. Almost all (95%)...

 

EDIT actually doesn't say a yr for makita.... mentions  cars 😊

Says germanys being E10 since 2010 so think saws generally would be E10 "adapted"  for awhile.
