Quoted:
OK with the Ethanol that's in gasoline. I am hearing that the alcohol is evaporating and will mess your carburetor in small engines, with today's gas blends.
My question is this. Without buying those little cans of pre mixed gas, is there any stabilizers that have recently came onto the market to solve this issue?
I have two Husqvarna's and one Stihl and I don't want to have to replace the carbs on these fine saws.
thanks for any help Bob W.
There are 2 issues you are asking about.
1) Stopping fuel decay
2) Stopping Ethanol from attacking certain types of plastic/rubber.
Yes, there are products that work better with ethanol blends to address #1.
No, there is pretty much nothing you can do to stop Ethanol from attacking vulnerable components. That's what it does. It's like asking oxygen not to rust bare steel.
If you don't use the saw often, those 'little cans of premix' are the best option.
