Canned fuel

[MarkEagleUSA]

Thought I'd share this with y'all...

Last night we had a serious front roll through here with 50-70 mph gusts and heavy, heavy rain with a few boomers mixed in for good measure. When I walked outside at 6 this morning this is what I saw.



Not to mention the rest of the yard looked like a war zone. When I got home from work I grabbed the 346XP from the garage. It hasn't run since the middle of summer and has been sitting through the winter full of 40:1 TruFuel. She popped on the 2nd pull and was running on the 3rd. Cleaned up the mess around the truck and some of the bigger stuff that fell in the yard. All told, I ran the saw for about 30 minutes and she never skipped a beat. When I was done I pulled out the backpack blower (also sitting full of TruFuel) and cleaned everything off the driveway.

This is the reason I use the canned stuff. No worries about it sitting and the equipment runs a lot better too IMHO.

Canned stuff always lasts longer.

I've started using tru fuel or motomix in equipment that won't be seeing action "any time soon" and have been pleased as well.

My dealer has moto mix. I've been tempted to use it in saws that sit for a few months. It's kinda pricey but sounds well worth it. Thanks for posting this.

Cheaper than rebuilding or replacing a carb and fuel system components.
Or worse.....a top end

I like to use non ethanol and we don't have any carb issues you pay more at the pump but well worth it.

i run nonethanol gas and my cousin came and i showed him how it started after 6 months of sitting its nice knowing you shouldnt have trouble because of the ethanol crap

I use it on my 40cc and under stuff. They use such a small amount anyway that it doesn't make a big difference on cost. Benefits are well worth it.

I got a saw in last week. .....
So stinky and gummy the owner left
Cheap gas in it for two years

No fun to fix that

Unless you boil it.

Canned fuel for low use or long time storage is the way to go. I go to our local heating oil company and can get Sunoco 260 gtx or 112 octane race gas .
Nice thing is just bring a can and get how many gallons you want or buy it in the 5 gallon pail .

I just started my husky 395XP last weekend that been sitting for at least 1.5+ yrs.. to split some big oak rounds for firewood, same deal as Thread OP, second pull she sneezed, 3rd pull she is warming up!!!! Stihl branded Motomix,,,, good chit,,, tru-fuel, VP 95 octane, they are all good, especially if you have a good old big one or little one for that matter, that is subject to sit for a bit!! #1 in my book

I have used VP fuel for 2 yrs now of course I don't make a living with my saws, just heat the house. I think you could put it in a blew up saw and it would run.......just my two cents [emoji12]

I've used Aspen fuel on saws that I dont use often, the only thing I hate with it is the price tag, 3,5$ pr litre fuel.
I've had saws stocked with the fuel for over 1 year, 2-3 pull and of they go.

I think all the pumps here have ethanol, up to 5% as I have understood

Totaly agree about using Tru Fuel . Every time i switch to Premium E fuel for a lot of cutting I have to re-tune tho. I heard that Tru fuel is offering a 5 gal pale now.

I run AV gas in any saws that are going to sit haven't had trouble yet. I just keep one can mixed with AV gas around.
