Good find TCD. Interesting reading.[/quote

 

would it be worth using the briggs&stratton fuel stabilizer in the mix?

Id like to run some higher ethanol fuel on an autotune and a non autotune saw and see how they compare or am i just a bit sad lol

Sure, apparently Briggs have revamped their stabiliser and its now better than it was. I'm not sure how it negates the impact of ethanol, but it extends the storage life by adding anti-oxidants and slowing down the chemical reaction.

 

For anyone not wishing to take the Aspen route, then using the additive is a sensible move.

Having read the reports that TCD posted about effects of high ethanol, I can't see why you would contemplate sticking it in your kit, even if you could get it here.

 

It only decreases performance, so whats the point?

Just curiosity to see how well (or not!) autotune copes! Most of the time i use aspen.

But with ethanol there is no winner. Its not as good as the petrol it replaces.

Aspen eddie will be rubbing his hands with glee if ethanol becomes the norm in uk forecourts.
