How many tanks do you run through your edger a year? Might look at using TrueFuel in it. I run maybe 2 tanks through my weedeater ever year (I need to go electric) and I've never had a problem. I started it for the first time last week and it ran fine with fuel that'd been in it since October.

Check the octane rating of your weedeater before going this route. I was using Trufuel for a while, but my weedeater is rated for 87 octane. Trufuel is 92 if I remember correctly. I went back to regular 87 octane ethanol free gas premixed at 50:1 and my weedeater ran a thousand times better after that.

2-3 tanks. Tru fuel is what I tried this time.

Canned fuel might be an answer for him but not TrueFuel for regular use. I use Echo RedArmor 2-stroke mix oil and their canned fuel, mix my own gas during the season then flush and store with the canned fuel at the end of the season. Only TrueFuel I have is the 4-cycle stuff, use it to flush my other lawn equipment before storage.

Tru-fuel, while expensive, is worth it in small engines. You will use 75 cents worth of fuel instead of 25 cents, but it will start on the first pull every time.

I use it exclusively in my Honda mower, Murray trimmer, and Suzuki 2.5hp outboard motor.

4-stroke blend in the Honda and Suzuki, and the 40:1 blend in the trimmer.
