Sta-bil red ethonal treatment

Do you BAW's believe in this product. I just bought a new Toro electric start personal pace mower and I paid about 460$ for it. And I need it to last a little longer than the last ones I had. I always had carburetor issues in the pass so I'm hoping this stuff works.

Good as any I would think. All of the different brands probably do what they claim, to a point.
I've used Stabil and another brand.

Just so you understand, it has to be in the carb cup and jets to really work. That means you have to pour it in and then run said motor enough to have it in said parts. JMO

Do you use Ethanol or Non ethanol gas? If you can use Non ethanol, 100% gas.

I use ethonal. Its brand new just bought the gas and added the sta-bil into the gas then the mower. Like direction suggested is this not right?

I've heard TrueFuel is the go to for lawn mowers nowadays.

I used Royal purple Sae30 it's a check and add oil type of mower. It also says you never have to change the oil

I don't know about Toro specifically, but a lot of manufacturers have started using different plastics and gaskets in their equipment to combat ethanol-related problems

I only use stabil when I'm storing an engine for awhile. Mostly generators. Not sure if it does any good but I'd like to think so.
I will use ethanol gas for my small engines only if I'm in a bind.
Try and find a non-ethanol station somewhere around and just fill a 5gal can. This should last you entire season if yard isn't yuge. I think you may be able to google for non-eth station locations--just call ahead first to make sure.

Hammertime I heard the same thing. They keep getting more and more expensive so hopefully they did.

Don't go out of your way for non-ethanol fuel in yard equipment. I know it's a marginally better choice (mostly for boats, PWC's, etc) if easily available but your equipment will last just as long without it. In fact, given that many gas stations that carry E0 fuel will use the absolute minimum detergent package to keep the costs down, you are are often better off with a top tier E10 fuel anyway. E0 fuel will cause problems if left in equipment during storage too so you aren't gaining much benefit there. Only difference is that it will cause varnish deposits while E10 will cause varnish and maybe corrosion. Since most small engines use stainless and non-ferrous metals in the carburetors now the corrosion issue is mostly a non-issue which just leaves varnish, which is the same problem you would have with E0 fuel. A fuel treatment like Sta-bil is good extra insurance as long as you do all the proper maintenance and store your equipment properly and don't fill up 5-gallon fuel cans that will take you a whole season to use up for yard work. I use Shell or BP 93 octane fuel for my lawn mower and 2-stroke equipment, it degrades slower, has very high detergent package, and is available within a few blocks of my house.
