I did a lot of research on generators a few years ago and I recall hearing that a major issue with dual fuel (gas/propane) generators (portable, not permanently installed whole-house generators) was that operating on propane could dry out seals more than gas.

If you're getting 17.3% when it should be 10% or lower, those are grounds for legal action, especially if it could cause damage to a "regular" or E10 car engine (which I imagine it would).

Commie state? I think you meant to say "corn-lobby state."

But where did you get the fuel from? Did the pump say it was supposed to be less than 10%? What did you use to analyze the ethanol percentage?

Yikes, that's really bad. Electric is the future of consumer landscaping, if you ask me.

Can you elaborate on this image?

Are those images from carbs that were stored during the off-season with the fuel having been run dry from the carb? If I store equipment with fuel still in the carb, I've had problems restarting the next season. If they're "dry," I've had no issues (granted, I've only had a very small sample...

I don't like ethanol blended fuel either, but I'll use it. I also try not to store my equipment at the end of the season having used ethanol fuel, but it depends on the equipment. Like my chainsaw and Echo PAS-225, I only store them after running TruFuel through them. That's because I rarely use...

Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, cold starts would have been nice, but there's no way I had the time to do that. Another issue would have been changing environmental conditions. After waiting a few hours, the ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity levels would have changed. I...

After more than two years, I finally finished my gasoline sample testing, where I compared various fuel samples in terms of their performance and ability to start in a 2-stroke engine. My results: See attached pic for a summary chart of my data. To get a better idea of what these results mean...
