What VP fuel

[Cigmaker]

Gonna head down to the local VP dealer today and get some non ethonol fuel. I have a few stations that sell e-free but one is 87 and 40 minutes away the other a marina that is no name fuel. Basically I'm tired of not having e-free on hand. Any of you run VP is there one that's best for saws?

I use the VP SEF. Stands for Small Engine Fuel. 94 octane. Add your 2 stroke oil to it, as there is no oil in it.

I bought a gallon size VP 40:1 at Tractor Supply. Was a pain pouring. I think I remember a post about using spout for Coleman camp fuel?

Good idea. One thing I would like to add, if one buys a gallon can of VP Fuel, it is a true gallon. I know some of the other canned fuels, like Tru Fuel, the can that looked like a gallon, was not a full gallon. Just FYI.

Thanks fellas!

VP is a true gallon @ 128 oz.

Just picked up a can of VP at TSC today.Good to know on the hard to pour bit.

We sell the VP 50:1 small engine fuel rated at 94 octane. Good stuff. 2 year shelf life to.

 

[jmssaws]

I run 87 or 91 vp

We don't have a lot of options up here in the Northeast. Lol

Best fuel I ever ran was 110 e free facing fuel mixed with stihl ultra. Them 460's ran like race saws. lol

It's too bad that most of the canned fuel I've seen between 92 and 94 octane. I feel anything over 90-91 is overkill and costing power for most work saws.

 

[Cigmaker]

Well I just got back from my "gas" run. I'm sorry but no way am I paying between 15-20 bucks a gallon for this stuff. Carried my a$$ right on over to the marina and paid 3.09 a gallon for 90 octane e-free. I made sure to tell the lady I'd spread the word and be back for more lol.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. I thought you knew about the prices. Lol
I buy 5 gallon can for $69.99.

 

[Cigmaker]

That guy had probably never seen someone run as fast is I did when I saw that price tag lol.

RI What makes it better than the 90oct E-0 I get from from the store? They have that and 114oct I use to run in my race bike.

 

[RI Chevy]

I really don't know, but there are not a lot of options up here. When I went to buy some, the guy recommended the VP SEF 94. Only way it comes. I bought it at a Honda dealer. I was also looking at Sunoco 94 also. I tried to buy some 100LL fuel at an airport, but they flat out will not sell it to me. Lol
So the choices are limited here in the Northeast.

Ok. We have e free everywhere down here. If you go to puregas.org it shows the stations that sells it. Maybe you'll get lucky and find one

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. Been there, done that. Only things that show up are canned gas locations. And if it does show something different, it is not accurate. RI is so small, I called every single place that was listed on that website. And I called every single marina in the state. Lol
I am sh't out of luck here.

I'm glad our government knows what's best for us. Regular e-10 is $2.02 and
e-0 is $2.65 here.
