re: Any of you run TruFuel in your lawn equipment?

10 year old lawn mower, 12 year old weed eater, 12 year old blower, 14 year old chainsaw, 16 year old generator all still work and start on first or second crank every single time.
Have only used non ethanol gas and added stabilizer.

I’ve done hardly any maintenance to any of them. Changed the oil once in my mower, twice in the generator.

i think its snake oil. its just gas with an additive? Never used it and no issues with regular gas (non-ethanol) and oil mix

I feel the same. I use non-ethanol gas that costs around $3.25 a gallon from a mom and pop station near me and use the 2 stroke oil in the small containers fit for 1 gallon of fuel. I use that in my weedeater and chainsaw.

For my mower and pressure washer, just plain non-ethanol fuel and have no issues for years. I do run the pressure washer 3-4 times a year for hours at a time when cleaning around the house. Lawn equipment gets used weekly on average-----more in the summer than fall/winter.

Chainsaw gets started and run even if not planning to use it just to keep things working several times a year.

That price is ridiculous. I gallon of non ethanol and a bottle of red armor is less than $9.
It’s more of a convenience thing for people that don’t want to mix their own.

I love using Tru-Fuel for the simple fact of pouring. The new gas cans are ridiculous, and easier to control Tru-Fuel, so you don't overflow those small engine fuel tanks.

I use it in my trimmer, my honda walk behind, and my suzuki 2.5 outboard boat motor (different blends). They all start up on the first pull, no matter how long they've sat. It is expensive, but I don't go through much either, and it lasts a long time on the shelf. If I were a pro and was running equipment every day, the cost would not be worth it. But I only use maybe a gallon a year, max.

I use it as a flush for my 2-stroke and 4-stroke equipment at the end of the season

Bingo

I use it for my weed eater. It's a Stihl two stroke so it's nice to have the oil premixed. I only go through a couple cans a year so it's an almost nothing expense that saves me a bunch of headache.

I don't want the ethanol to eat the fuel lines or mess up the carburetor

Not once have I ever seen this happen

I use in weed eater. No problems
