5 Reasons to Use Ethanol-Free Gas in Small Engines

Ethanol attracts water Most pump gas contains up to 10% ethanol, which pulls moisture from the air. That water separates, sinks to the bottom of your tank, and turns into corrosive sludge.

Small engines clog easily Carburetors in tools like chainsaws have tiny jets that clog instantly from ethanol-related deposits. Ethanol-free gas avoids this problem entirely.

Fuel stabilizers are a weaker backup Stabilizers buy you a few months of protection, but they don’t match the long-term reliability of pure ethanol-free gas.

Pre-mixed canned fuel lasts two years If you only run a saw a few times a year, buy pre-mixed canned fuel. It stays fresh for two years and eliminates carburetor headaches.

Untreated gas ruins a saw in 30 days Never let a saw sit with untreated gas for more than a month. Drain it or run it dry to avoid a weekend of cursing and carb cleaning.
