Yep both my stations has it's own pump hose for the E-free gas.


If not you pump a gal or so in truck before you do. Just common dang sense.

Like I have shown simple few min test to make sure Efree is always efree. ;)

More common sense. ;)

Gee wiz look how easy. Less then a min.

I forgot they added a 3rd station south of me now for Efree. Never been to that one at a Sheetz gas station.
Mine are both Marathon.

I only know of one non-ethanol serving station in my area. It is a separate pump. I know of several in Oklahoma. They had separate pumps as well, but their's also had several octane choices. Ours only has one.
FYI, this site lists 2 stations. 90 and 91 octane, if accurate, you got the good stuff.

The first one is the one I was talking about. I've been going to that local chain since I was born for groceries with my mom. The cashiers used to give me one of those suckers with the loop sticks. Grape! 😛

The second one is in the next town over.

Doesn't matter to me, though. I've never used ethanol-free fuel. I've been running E10 87 octane in everything I own since the 80s and never ever had a fuel related problem, water in gas, degraded components, etc. The only piece of equipment I own that gets fuel treatment is the generator. I follow the equipment manufacturers' recommended procedures and practices. I rotate my three 6-gallon storage cans and if, for some reason (like the last 2 winters lack of snow) I don't use it in several months, I'll dump it in the Suburban and get it refilled the next time I go to the station.

I now own a Stihl clone saw that needs higher octane fuel, so that one has a separate can, but still, E10.

I don't rotate my 2-stroke mixed fuel. Never had an issue with it even a year or more down the road.

I just don't understand why so many people has so many problems with E10. :unsure:

We have no real E0 places in this part of the state or the next state over, unless you want to fight your way into an airport.
For my 620p I use canned gas. For everything else E10 high test with Stabil.

Thin to win right.
😂

Last cut surprised myself I didn’t cut out.

Even opened center baffle and opened the closed exit they did on these. Like they were purposely killing the flow out. 2 small holes at bottom of baffle to go through. I did just enough as I like them to look stock still.

Not with a 61 you won’t. Runs like a open port 60-62cc saw.

Surprised they were doing that crap even in 86.
