Regular or Premium Petrol

[sawsaw]

I came across an article which stated it was best to use premium grade petrol (as opposed to regular) in a chainsaw.Said to be cleaner on the engine. I have until now used regular with no issues. For the amount of fuel I use cost is not a factor (length of storage time is more important). Interested to hear what you guys think/ use - the stihl guidelines are on the link below for info. Minimum of 89 octane and less than 10% ethanol ( for whatever reason!) are recommended.

I can't imagine what answer is going to be to this question.

You may be surprised. I'm pretty sure I remember reading that a saw will perform better on standard fuel as opposed to the higher octane equivalent.

 

I think it had something to do with the standard fuel detonating easier than the high octane fuel.

 

Of course, a branded fuel (shell, bp, etc) will be better quality than the supermarket equivalent, with a lower ethanol content.

 

How many posts before someone tells us that Aspen will run better, be cheaper long term, and make our breath fresher?

Use only unethanol fuel, since price is no object. Available at most boat marinas. Purchase a fuel stabilizer for longer term storage.

Your last sentence was what I was referring to.
