E10 or Premium E5 for s stroke tools?

E10 is less Calorific than E5 and non E so uses more fuel for same bang along with absorbs moisture more than E5

Methanol also destroys rubber/non ethanol proof parts inc tanks!

 

It's caused all sorts of Shite in USA with so many things when some(many) have loaded tanks and pumped more pure ethanol inc going through tanks and matting on floor!

As USA is lax with controls on what fuel is put in petrol stations.

There's some on you tube that fix saws that had it go through floor.

Ducati had an issue with it destroying bike tanks had to go about sorting.

 

Ive always used Super with Stihl (Greeny oil)that has stabiliser in everything.

When was down Radmore & tucker guy there was saying about not using E10 in things.

There other thing also with old fuel left in which increases with E10 is corrosion/Rust on internals! Got a 555RXT last week that had the Old fuel Syndrome/illness/disease(Can be hard to start but won't idle or does then dies and don't pick up on throttle)Machine even thought 2011 serial numbered is mint inside casing Can is still shiny silver! and crank casing yet when had carb apart the screw by metering had some rust/corrosion on it!

Gauze filter was covered in cack so cleaned out with Brake/carb cleaner so back to shiny! cleaned rest so now runs!

 

So something else to be mindful if leaving esp outside in sheds/garages

Is that £1000 worth of batteries I see there ? 😂

BLi300 Can’t be that cheap.

OTOH that picture contains 2.5-5k of charging/discharging cycles that will transfer roughly 1.5MWh of mains energy (brutto) in total.

What’s the electricity (kWh) price in UK btw?

About 18p now

 

One downiside with batteries is how you can't measure there degrading with each  charge cycle so when to replace?

 

Just seen makita do a gizmo for it would be handy for dealers to have  if batteries are the future.

Gizmos do get people involved and immersed :) More screens and numbers, just like 12-band equalizers on the amplifiers 30 years ago. Or vaper community and their measured pleasures of glycol clouds :D

Anyway, the batteries should be simply replaced once it's runtime starts being too short to work normally. Just like when the 2 stroke loses power (which it gradually does over time) and it gets really annoying to start or produce decent torque.

They definitely can go up to 1000+ cycles with losing 50% or more of the capacity. Then it is definitely noticeable.

Our electricity supplier went bust, and with the new supplier our price for "normal" has gone up to just shy of 25p kwh.

This is in the North of Scotland, where we produce so much renewable electricity it is exported down south, where it's sold at a lower price than here :vollkommenauf:

 

What country are you in and how does it compare?

Belgium. Average stats say 0.26€/kWh but with all the windmill choices and different supply options (like fixed and periodically reviewed rates) it varies.

Yeah that  tester seems way over priced for probable a low manufacture cost it is though  under 200 quid in germany, so think the UK price is really is taking the piss. (as seems normal now with many things)
