Recommended Posts

Noticed today with a new batch of petrol with correct 2T mix it didn’t run very well in any of the tools and one saw which would run fine hardly started at all .also it didn’t seem to last as long before running out again .Seems like the prices go up and the quality goes down ..I’m sure a few years ago the quality of petrol was much better

Has to be .bought from one of those places that sells only one type of fuel ,absolute crap and a rip off 

The fact that E10 is shit in some small engines and they use more for a given run time makes Alkylate fuel a better proposition .

Yep back to motomix next time .also heard that normal petrol just turns to almost like water when the fuel cans been opened a few times in the sun and all the actual good stuff has escaped!

Thats it Stubby, lower the tone 😯 well, did a bit with the Husqk this week, E10 fuel, no bother, thou am religious over chucking out mix fuel more that 2 weeks old. K

Not tried it Khriss to be honest but heard of peeps having problems with E 10 one of which was it don't go as far as the old petrol . Meaning you have to burn more to get the same output .  I love being retired 😁
