Higher Ethanol content authorized for summer months: [image] Fuel Stations Will Soon Start Pushing More Ethanol Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency decided to allow higher ethanol content in summer fuel blends in an effort to lower fuel prices. On March 25, the EPA formally …

I use Ryobi 40V equipment. Have had really good luck with it, no problems.

I bought a 20V Craftsman one on sale 1/2 off the other day, mainly for the battery lol… All my battery shop tools are Craftsman, I have been impressed with them so far… The weed eater came with a 2mah battery, but I also have 4mah battery’s and for my acre lot it took a little more than one 4mah bat…

[image] db4690: You sure it’s not tinnitus? That was a serious question, not an insult or a joke Yeah, there’s that too, but I am able to just tune that out. A lifetime of driving around with the stereo volume at “11” and a career in the shop with air hammers and impacts with no hearing prot…

With the gasoline equipment I had, I used ethanol free gasoline. I am down to just a 2 stroke snowblower, so I buy canned ethanol free fuel at Walmart. It’s expensive , but it saves the frustration of hard starting. My driveway isn’t very long, so a can of ethanol free 50:1 mixture lasts an entir…

Most of my small garden devices are battery including the pole saw. I bought an 80 volt weeder and chopper but man is it heavy. They had an ego at the hardware store. I think it was approaching $5000 and new batteries were $1 to 2,000. I bought an electric cultivator too and I don’t have to wor…

[image] ChrisTheTireWhisperer: I’d take it to the small engine shop 5 minutes away, the charged me $150 to “fix” it, and it still motor-boated a little. …to spill out the old fuel, add a pint of new fuel, remove the air cleaner and squirt carburetor spray in the throat of the carburetor. Car…

Battery power for the saws and weed Wacker but gas push mower for around trees, the fence, and other spots the lawn tractorcan’t get. We can get pure gas close but I’m pretty sure the cans hold pump gas. The field mower and the quad to pull it use the most. But you need more toys to maintain 4 acres…

I do the same, always non-ethanol, for the amount use, maybe an extra $10/year. As far as putting away for the season, nah, I just run them for ten or fifteen minutes every week or two.

Get a set of the welders torch clean out devices and use those to clean out the main nozzle. Sometime the hole has to be slightly drilled out using micro drill bits. Not much, just a little.
