Non ethanol gas

[MitchSpence]

I have read where non ethanol gas is a key to some of our utv problems. Can I get an amen?

[WhiteLightning]

It's all I use. Only thing I put in my mowers, too.

all depends on the problem

Only if you have problems after it sits for a week or so.

if you run it for a hour or so a day like mine, no problems.

 Star Tron also does very well at preventing carbs from gumming etc.  I've cleaned too many carbs where the Sta Bil apparently fell out of suspension and gets sucked into the carburetor all at once.. doesn't run too well on only stabil.

Thanks for the Startron tip. I will give it a try.

Travis - I always use SeaFoam, seen any of those issues with it?

[Travis]

Never seen any issues with Sea Foam unless too much was added (like, 1/2 a bottle in a push mower tank)

Almost a yr later but I never buy Non-ethanol. But I do use Star-Tron. Your gas will NOT go bad if you add Star-Tron....unless you get water and water never did workload with gas. My portable generator has 2 yr old gas in it......with Star-Tron.  Started it a few weeks ago, ran it for half an hr, ran great.

Great success with Startron.

No problems, I also use non ethanol gas.

[MitchSpence]

Startron is a good brand.

[Don W]

StarTron, .I never buy non-ethanol! Another good thing about StarTron, you can’t over do it.

You’re lucky you have a station that sells it nearby. In AZ tiara aren’t any stations that sell it within 60 miles of Phenix.

Lucky for you, AZ has little humidity and lots of sun!

Moisture is the root of the problems that stem from ethanol fuel.

I agree on the Startron additive..I use it in every gas engine i own..and thats a lot of engines..cheaper by the gallon on Amazon. It works..
