You don't buy from them anymore. Seems pretty simple. Thing is I buy non e fuel and test it everytime I fill my can to be sure it's e free

Yeppers !

 

[T.Roller]

Yeppers !

I can understand if you live somewhere remote and you only have one station to buy from. I'm blessed to have 3 stations that sell e free fuel within 5 miles or so of my house

Yeppers ... and your saw won’t likey that fuel for long especially if ported ! Seems a bit foolhardy to spend $1000 on a powersaw and run questionable mix thru it ... Now depending where you reside the fuel is supposed to be regulated by the state or province but I’ll be a monkeys-Uncle if I’ve EVER seen em testing the neighborhood pumps ! I’ll stick with motomix as my first choice ; second choice 91 ethanol-free ... STAY AWAY from corn-gas !!!

I saw the department of Agriculture here in Kansas shut down the pipe line station in Topeka because of high ethanol content last year.

Some got stuck with *s-wordty gas.

Consider yourself very lucky. None at all in RI. Not one station. Trust me. I checked and followed up on every lead. Only e free is canned fuel. [emoji35]

That sucks balls

 

[T.Roller]

I couldn't tell you how many we have in a 20 mile radius. More than 10

 

[T.Roller]

I think I'd go with some vp canned 40:1

 

[RI Chevy]

Yup. That's what I use. I buy the 5 gallon cans.

How do you like it?

 

[RI Chevy]

My Stihl's run well on it. I like it.
If I am cutting all day then I run regular 89 octane pump gas with ethanol. Last couple of tanks I switch back to VP.
A little cheaper that way.

Looked like there were two Sonoco in RI. Few around here.

You aren't wrong but when you read the details you find out it is canned e-free gas. I would much rather but the VP 5 Gallon cans that Jeff is buying than Sunoco race fuel in cans, 100 octane is leaded as well.

No thanks!!!

Yah ... and running that “*s-wordty gas” in a $1000 powersaw ain’t gonna work out well !

And that is why I buy the trucked in e free stuff.

No sir. It looks like they sell it. But not at pump. Only in cans. Just does not seem to be available in New England.

 

[RI Chevy]

I like the VP SEF in 5 gallon can

I m unfortunate enough to live in a country where “economic chaos” brought more than usual ways at most products to become fake or dangerous with gasoline sitting in the first row.

The 100octane costs nearly 2€ per liter which is VERY EXPENSIVE and still not sure of quality even at the same gas station.

So since our daily life became gamble of what you pay and you finally get STIHL MOTOMIX stabillity is an oasis in the desert. Yes very expensive at 5€ per liter. But you know what you gonna get.

Yah ... I don’t blame ya my friend - better to pay a bit more for the fuel than to jeopardize an expensive saw ... I’m in the USA and STIHL prefer Motomix myself lol !!! If ya want to do some research about fuel and refineries it’s all available and I’ve come to the conclusion the fuel just ain’t what it used to be ... kinda like the economy ... cutting corners here , shaving pennies there ; it all adds up to paying more for less ... NEW vehicles are computerized with sensors and subroutines to ALLOW for crappy gas ! Chainsaws not so much but the tech is coming ... and we are gonna PAY for it !!!

 

[Adirondackstihl]

I get VP C9 for $60 per 5gal pail.
Usually lasts me a year

 

[Semotony]

Exactly. Higher octane needs higher Temps and compression to burn correctly.

Which is why I have 36:1 97 octane e-free for milling. & yes IMHO ported cylinder 661-c pulls better with that than any of the other expensive ways to go at it.
Enjoy whatever youse choose
