Most places don't have it at all, much less at the regular pumps. Around here anyhow.

@DiaJim:

Nearest Casey's = 1500 miles. Damn, where are you Hawaii?

"It shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't let it sit in the tank, or more than 2 months in the can."
I have five cans and close to twenty tanks on equipment, many premix.
Any ideas as to how to reasonably follow your plan?

It would be a lot of work to buy as you need it and drain the tanks if you're not going to use that piece for a few days. That would only work for normal people with a lawnmower and a weedwacker or chainsaw, so no, not a practical one.
Did you try the links to where you can buy un-ethanoled gas?

Closest Casey's to CA is OK.
Four people in this state have heard of them.

Stabil?

I have looked for alcohol free gas in the past and again when I posted above. For some reason, California (far from the corn belt) has the fewest outlets by far.
I have been told that Stihl warranties are invalid if gasohol is used. Interestingly, Stihl makes no such claims in its literature or on its website, saying that E10 (10%) is OK.
I think there are a bunch of non-engine performance factors in this near scam.
As I said, my Stihl chainsaw functions well after 28 years of gasohol use.
As much as I hate to tempt fate, I have to say that all the other equipment (see number of tanks above) I use regularly show no ill effects that I can see. Many are over 20 years old and one is 71.

I was hoping to find the experiences of others in the Cellar.

One of those links show 22 CA stations, the other one only 5.

If you are in range of a Shake Shack, I am here to tell you that their chicken nuggets are 100% the real deal. Hearty seasoned outer coating, actual non-mechanically-separated chicken meat inside.

50% pricier than most fast food nuggies because quality.

My 34 year old Snapper was not designed for gasahol so I buy the additive to overcome the problem. You can by straight gasoline in a lot of marinas, big PITA to get to the gas pump. I live in the cornbelt so there isnt much straight gasoline here but it can be found.

Kwik Trip premium is real gasoline no ethanol. that's what we all run in our small engines around here.

Gravdigr · 02-18-2020, 08:11 AM

Yeah, fuck that. I get enough unwanted calls. I pretty much keep my cell turned off unless I'm expecting a call.

slang:
I bought a Honda EU2200i ($1000) last year anticipating fire season and PG&E BS.
Ran it for about 20 minutes to make sure I could get it going easily when the emergency came.
When it did, the thing would not start or run and the dealer told me the warranty did not cover the fuel system and I needed a carburetor rebuild for about $100.
A long trip to town (twice) and waited in line with other suckers for what I finally figured out was a sneaky, well practiced 5 minute jet cleaning for a bargain $60!
It did do pretty well when needed, grunting for the microwave and toaster (don't try them together).
There were several other things that happened that I didn't expect of Honda.

I think I'll go test it.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-19-2020, 12:18 AM

Anything that runs on gasoline and not used three times week is trouble. Snowblower, chainsaw, generator, tractor, motorcycles, even cars. The gas is getting worse all the time, additive(drygas) helps some, but even draining the system completely leads to other bullshit.

What's the word on fuel stabilizers?
