If you enjoy my small engine repair videos make sure to comment, share, thumbs up and subscribe. Thanks for watching!
Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on RU-vid and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on RU-vid to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

l run it all the time, good stuff, too bad we have to resort to this after being forced to burn corn,

@jefffaust89 2 года назад

I hear ya! I’m in luck where I live there is one service station that carries 91 premium ethanol free gas. Been putting it in everything I run 2 and 4 stroke for the past 2-3 since they first opened. They could fix all our fuel problems by just getting rid of ethanol blended fuel e10 and so on , but that most likely will never happen. I see at some pumps for some newer hybrid cars and what not they have a e15 blend. A bunch of government regulated bull. I still use and have cans with vents in them and a couple no spill cans those aren’t bad cans actually, but I refuse to buy any of the other messed up big box store cheap gov cans.

I recommended Trufuel to my hometown volunteer fire department for ventilation chainsaw. No stalle gas problems and no chance of straight gassing by grabbing wrong can. Most importantly, it starts easily and runs better when needed.

@donyboy73 8 лет назад

+LoveStihlQuality for the fire department it's very smart to use trufuel

@dirtytsfarm2141 2 года назад

Just a quick story. I have a small 2-stroke water pump that I bought about 12yrs ago when I planted a cypress tree by my livestock tank. Watered it the first two years pretty good and put the pump away. Well with the drought/heat wave we're in now that tree was lookin pretty rough so I pulled out the pump and in my former idiocy I had left about 1/2 tank of tru-fuel in it. Fully expecting it to be a mess I gave it a couple pulls anyway. 3rd pull it fired up and purred like a kitten. I was shocked. Great product for storage! Quick aside, I've learned so much from you through the years man. Just wanted to say Thank You!

@Goregoonswasteofspace 8 лет назад

I stumbled on that stuff in Home Depot last spring. I LOVE it!! I wouldn't buy it for my lawnmower due to the price but the pre-mix is certainly the way to go Dony!

@dylanclay2741 2 года назад

I use stabil storage in my lawnmower gas and never had any starting problems. But for my 2 strokes I use trufuel

@BertPle 8 лет назад

Here in Holland we have "Aspen" fuel to use in 2 and 4 cycle small engines. When you work professionally with these type of machines you must use this fuel because it is less pollutant for your self and the enviroment also. Besides that you can store it for a couple of years without the risk of loosing quality. It is not cheap (4-5 times the price of the fuel you use in your car), but it is much better for your self and your machine.

@jstrunck 8 лет назад

I gave it a try and never went back to premix pumpgas. The weedeater runs like it is brand new again. Trufuel cost about 3.99 a can here. Well worth the money, and i will stick with it!

@ronhart4166 8 лет назад

Awesome product. I use it in my chain saws and trimmers that I don't use everyday. I have never had an issue with cranking or leaks in these units. I have had issues with the everyday used trimmers leaking that I run regular fuel through. Primer bulbs dry out and crack mostly. I would love to be able to keep it in all my equipment but I don't like carrying all the small cans. Maybe one day they will offer 2.5 gallon cans for us commercial guys :) Congratulations on your new sponsor Donny :)

@lovestihlquality1369 8 лет назад

For anyone buying Shell V Power, the first half gallon in the filler hose is whatever was pumped last.

@briansmith4957 8 лет назад

I have been using all 3 types of Tru-Fuel for the past 4 years. I really does work well. For a homeowner, the price isn't really too bad. For commercial use, it is much too expensive. It's hard to justify $20+ dollars per gallon for fuel.

@jorangel87 Год назад

@xoxo2008oxox 8 лет назад

Ok. I've a Rancher 55 saw. Haven't touched it in years. I dumped out old fuel, and let it dry out. I put halve can of 50:1 TruFuel in and after a few hard pulls...got nothing. Duh, stop was on. Pulled choke out, gave 5 pulls, got a kick, pushed in choke and it started! I cut some logs. Sold me on it! Thanks Dony!

@BigDmike24 5 лет назад

Good Video Don My dad ( small engine mechanic) explained it to me like this. Ethanol absorbs moisture (water) you put oil in Ethanol based gas and expect it to lubricate a 2 cycle Engine. Water and oil do not mix well. scoring cylinder walls and Piston rings. Pay for Ethanol free gas. From the Pump or can or you can repair/ replace equipment regularly. We Been using can fuel for a few years now with very good results. True fuel is one of the best.

@semco72057 8 лет назад

I use it now and have had less problems with my trimmers.

@1hjehje 3 года назад

I use this in my 2 cycle trimmer and it works great. I have been using it for 5 years without any problems. It is a bit expensive so I just use regular gas in my mower.

@MarkFox 8 лет назад

A much cheaper option is if you have a local airport you can purchase LL100 AvGas. Last time I got some it was $4.65 a gallon but it is 100 octane and contains no ethanol. Mix with your favorite oil ( I use Klotz R50) and you're good to go. I haven't even had to change a spark plug in 7 years.

@ussenterprise5364 6 лет назад

I use Tru-Fuel four-stroke, and 50:1 for the last run of the season/winter storage. No problems with starting my mower and trimmer in the Spring.

@rivetc78 8 лет назад

Love this stuff! Here in Ontario, you can get larger cans at most small engine dealers. Like some have said, this stuff actually makes your equipment run better. I have a Poulan leaf blower that was running sluggish. I suspect it was from years of running Esso "crappy" gas. I switched to the Trufuel 40:1 and it has gradually improved to the point it now runs perfect like it did on the first day!

@MarkDHastingsMusic 3 года назад

From what I understand, the main problem with ethanol is that it absorbs water. However, it does NOT gum up your carburetor. The thing that does that is benzine. There are lots of videos that demonstrate how to remove ethanol from regular gasoline, but these methods do not remove benzine. (which is also a carcinogen!) The TruFuel, and its competitors do not contain benzine, but are almost all parafins - the good stuff. That alone make for a good reason to buy these special fuels.

@liveinmyamerica 8 лет назад

I picked up a couple cans of STIHL Moro fuel for my son and it cost me almost $10 per can. That is $40 a gallon where I live and we have several gas stations here they sell fuel without ethanol for less the $3.00 per gallon. I know its a balance and that why I watch Dons Channel, they don't come more level headed the him.

@matthewjaikissoon5274 7 лет назад

last year I mixed my own gas and oil and I used it in my leaf blower. before putting it away I ran all the gas out of it. this year I used the mixture in my leaf blower and it doesn't start. I bought trufuel and it started right up!

@wysowl1776 8 лет назад

I do buy this fuel thank for confirming what I all ready knew, but i always run my machine dry every time they always start real nice in the spring some are 9 years old still run great.

@donhendricks2950 2 года назад

I agree 100% . Not because I'm subscribed to your channel but because I've proved Tru fuel for myself over two years of use.

@frankh4229 8 лет назад

My small engine carb equipment gave me problems last year, No fuel on /off valve between tank and carb. Despite my best efforts I could not start the engines. My Husky ride on now has a fuel line valve which I turn off and let the engine use the fuel to run the carb dry. I will check for TRUFUEL here and if available will get some. Thanks for your share.

@rpavlik1 8 лет назад

As always i appreciate your honesty in telling us all up front that this is a sponsored video. I use this fuel in my machines that i rarely use such as my chainsaw. It's great to know that when i need it, the saw will start and not give me any fuel related problems. I just returned from the store with 2 fresh bottles. Thanks Don...I have said it before and will say it again.. You are...THE man.

i just got some today, my echo trimmer idles smooth and its very responsive , its worth the price when you take into consideration the cost of gas + 2 stroke oil additive + stabilizer... its cheaper than mixing it yourself if your like me and only maintain ur own property.

@charlesjones6998 7 лет назад

I am lucky enough to be able to buy ethanol free gas from the pump near me....

@gjensen500 7 лет назад

I have the same Stihl FS weed wacker as donyboy73 and used gas 89 octane and Stihl oil from the dealer but, it ran with less power and harder to start after the first summer I used it. I tried to buy Stihl's premix from the store was but they were out, so I bought that TruFuel and now it runs like a champ. And it's easy to start. It is all I will use.

@robertheinkel7579 2 года назад

Grabbed my Stihl pole saw , after a year First pull !!!! Amazing try fuel

@Steve0885 5 месяцев назад

I used it in my weed eater and it wouldn't start. I just had it running off my mix. I finally got it running and had to completely readjust the mixture to make it run properly. I also notice it doesn't smoke now

@deadguy237 8 лет назад

@bishopmills4263 8 лет назад

This stuff is great for people that dont use their saws. blowers very often or arent very good at mixing oil.

@adrianpierce1687 8 лет назад

My local Ariens dealer recommended that I use this on my snowblower when I put it away for the spring. Given that I only put in a small amount and then run it dry before storing, the price is not an issue. Cost wise, It far beats having to replace the seals in the carb due to the ethanol problems.

@earlmorton6265 2 года назад

It's a bit expensive. I still buy it. Use it in my Echo Weed Trimmer. Also in my Toro 22 Recycler. True Fuel is an awesome product.

@rellmonger7935 8 лет назад

i used the Husqvarna brand but it good stuff. Trufuel is what the Lawnmower dealer fill my new equipment up with every time I buy something or a repair

@davidholmes9874 4 года назад

I like Stihl Motomix for the 2 cycles but use the True Fuel 4 cycle fuel for snowblowers and lawnmowers at seasons end. VP also makes good product. These can be bought in gallon sizes also. Fuel in a can is expensive but having the equipment start right up without repair is worth it. I find that at summers end and going into the fall I can buy this type of fuel in a can for close out prices of about $2.00 USD at Walmarts, slightly more at hardware stores. That is when I stock up. I always recommend that others use these canned fuels, often Trufuel by name because it is so readily available.

@HardKnocksForge 7 лет назад

I always mix my own fuel, but when it comes to the last trim of the season or the last tree I'm going to cut up I use trufuel. Just less of a hassle than trying to run the saw or trimmer out of fuel. Plus it's ready in the spring. It's good stuff. It's just too expensive for me to use it all the time.

@brandonc7450 8 лет назад

I keep a can in my chainsaw carrying case because I very rarely use my chainsaw. Its worth it if you don't use the equipment much. But for my grass trimmer, lawn mower and blower I buy 93 octane gas at the pump, mix it with oil @ 45:1 and then mix it with Stabil. I find that for equipment that I use a lot, mixing it myself is much cheaper and I have had zero fuel/carb issues or starting issues after winter storage.

@DJ_Driven 2 года назад

Been using the stuff for a couple years works great. Just resurrected my grandmother's old school lawn boy 320e hit the starter button immediately fired to life, and that smell is like being at the drag races. Just wish it wasn't over $20 a gallon at Ace & home Depot.

@rejmonwilson 6 лет назад

I have used it in the past, and it does make the equipment performs better, and runs great 👍🏿.

@lovestihlquality1369 8 лет назад

I agree with the folks that use it to store equipment. Of course be sure to run it through. I use it in my trimmer and little blower that don't use much fuel

@wildbill23c 6 лет назад

I just started using it this year, seems to work just fine, but with the mowing season coming up I'll be mixing up fuel again the old way. Its nice in the off-season though that way if you forget to run the equipment out of fuel it won't be a huge issue come next season. This stuff works very well, and its nice to just dump it in and go.

@donyboy73 6 лет назад

exactly what i do too!

@Coloredeggfarms 8 лет назад

I used this once when I ran out of fuel away from home with my snowblower. The cans should have an expiration date. The cans I had made the engine run terrible and I believe it was due to the fact it was old. It had quite a lot of dust on the container probably due to the price. I had to empty the tank and put in my ethanol free fuel and it ran fine. I'm not saying its bad stuff but I haven't had a good experience with it. The price is to much for everyday use but its would be great for something you don't use often. If I ever run out again however I will make sure the can I pick look new off the shelf.

@claddagh1000 6 лет назад

When I store the Generators I use trufuel and never an issue in years. The BR600 blower uses the Stihl 50:1 and been great. I have stabil and when I use that kind I use the best--> Startron

@sjs2657g 8 лет назад

Went to a local airport to get 2 gallons of non-ethanol based gas. Added stabilizer and used ½ for my mowers and with the other ½ mixed my own 2 cycle gas at 25% of the price.

@CedarworkshopNet 8 лет назад

Put a cup of TruFuel 40:1 in a mason jar, with a little bit of 2 cycle oil to make 32:1. Then added it to my Homelte Super XL chainsaw fuel tank. It ran like champ!

mmz77 No, only their top V-Power; regular and intermediate have 10% and 5% respectively. The ethanol % is usually printed on the side or front of the pump. This is in Eastern Canada, not sure if it is the same in the US or elsewhere. I'd suggest you check out pure-gas.org to find ethanol free fuel.

@PrimoLandscaping 8 лет назад

+mmz77 in Ottawa only the 91 clearly says at the pump it has no ethanol.

@lostinmyspace4910 2 года назад

I can buy racing fuel which is also called recreational fuel for boats, 4 wheelers, etc. at the gas pumps. Mobil gas stations sell recreational fuel. It's better than even 92 octane for certain vehicles.

@colin8532 8 лет назад

Nice review, but at about $8 per litre I think I'll stick to buying my 92 octane ethanol free fuel and mix it myself. It would be a great solution for people that just can't mix their own though.

@michaelspeakman8924 6 лет назад

Thanks young man. My brother already uses it. He doesn't use his weed eater in his chainsaw that much. So it can last him a long time.

@bubbatime 7 лет назад

Most, a vast majority of home owners, would use less than 2 cans of this stuff a year. Home Depot PowerFuel 50:1 is $5 per can, TruFuel 50:1 is $6 per can near me. So that's only $10 to $12 for an entire years worth of fuel, for the average home owner that uses 2 cans or less per year. If you mix it yourself, the cost is $3 for a gallon of 91 octane fuel, $2 for 2.6 ounces of 2 cycle oil, and $1 for a squirt of fuel stabilizer. So mixing a gallon yourself cost $6. Congratulations, you just saved $4 to $6 by mixing it yourself. The Premix fuel is SUPERIOR to mix it yourself gasoline, so you saved about $5 to run a fuel that goes bad in 90 days, really bad in 6 months, and terrible bad in 1 year. Meanwhile TruFuel is good for 2 years once opened or 5 years in a sealed can. For the average light use homeowner, it not only makes sense, but you'd be an idiot to mix it yourself.

@thinkingimpaired5663 5 лет назад

To cut costs run your last tank of fuel with the trufuel at the end of the season. Then you can start the new season without having to service the fuel system of your equipment. Or consider building a ethanol separator and adding octane boost to your fuel.

@heystarfish100 8 лет назад

I run the Stihl premix oil with regular unleaded fuel with ethanol during the season. When the season ends I run the engine dry then fill to 1/2 tank with TRUFUEL, start, shutdown and store for winter. This method is economical and the TRUFUEL in the fuel system is a better protectant than having it be dry. A dry fuel system is subject to the seal and diaphragm damage from the ethanol vapors left behind. Spring start-up is smooth thanks to the TRUFUEL. Not a paid endorsement nor have I received anything free for my recommendation.

@DougHinVA 5 лет назад

I bought this AFTER my Hitachi blower would not start. Using car gas is using ethanol gas and that eats up the lines and gums up the carb. It's true

@SevenSixTwo2012 Год назад

I've ran Shell Canada V-power (no ethanol) in my Briggs lawnmower and snowblower for 7 years now, sometimes forgetting to drain it at end of season. They both start on the first pull every time. Unfortunately, the Turdeau Liberal regime now mandates all fuel to have ethanol in it, because we need that to improve the weather in Canada, apparently.

@holdenwilkerson535 8 лет назад

@robertlee4172 2 года назад

How about a compromise? Use high octane fuel in the tank, and drain for the off season using TrueFuel to fill the gas line.

@avega2792 3 года назад

Hard starts are one reason I went with battery powered lawn equipment, and at more than $20 a gallon I can’t justify buying trufuel for my generator. I’ll have to travel a little bit to buy ethanol free fuel at the pump.

@sraike 6 лет назад

Been using it in my 2-cyle stuff for a couple of years now. Everything always starts and runs great even after sitting for months. Would hate the thought of having to go back to ethanol/oil mix.

@redneckbryon 8 лет назад

I've tried that stuff, I did like it because I despise mixing gas and I don't use my two cycle equipment very often. But then I commented on one of your videos 4-6 months ago asking if you have heard of it and if you use it, someone commented back and said it has ethanol in it so it kind of scared me off of it, but now since you made this video I'm going to definitely use it again. I like the idea of people commenting to other people on your videos but only if they know the facts about the topic you need help with.

@colinp2528 8 лет назад

Most people miss the whole point of using "canned gas". It would only be used by someone who uses their equipment occasionally, as it would be prohibitively expensive if you were to use it a lot. No worries about draining equipment, just leave it in there until you need it again. That's actually what Donny said anyway. Now I bought a new Husqvarna chainsaw back in the spring, along with 3 cans of 50:1 fuel, to get the 3 year warranty. I can use any 50:1 fuel mix after and it won't void said warranty (however, we all know that getting the warranty to cover 2-cycle engine failures is a crap-shoot anyway). When I run out of the Husqvarna fuel (probably take me a year), I'll get the Tru-fuel, as it's sold in our local Canadian Tire for $2 cheaper than the Husqvarna stuff. So thanks Donny as I was wondering about Tru-fuel and how well it stood up to use.

@donyboy73 8 лет назад

+colin p thanks Colin, I also use it myself in limited quantities just like you.

@dagrote 8 лет назад

+donyboy73 Colin: I have a question about the ethanol thing. Does ethanol cause significant damage as soon as you put it in no matter how quickly you use it, or does it cause damage only after it's been allowed to age for a while in the system? I've never been sure about that. I'm asking because I go through about a gallon a week in high season, so the premixed stuff get to be very expensive. I mix my own, but that means ethanol gas does sit in my machines for a while -- maybe a week -- until it's used up and replaced by fresh gas. What do you think?

@colinp2528 8 лет назад

+Dale Grote I would think that the issues with ethanol is in storage, so if you go through a gallon a week, then e-fuel should be fine. However, you should be using the best gas you can buy (high octane) and the best oil for the fuel mix. Now as far as warranty is concerned, if your equipment has engine damage, then the manufacturer will try every trick in the book not to cover it, blaming it on the fuel, and if it's got ethanol, then they'll be sure to blame that. So keep that in mind. If a person only uses a gallon or so a year in their saw, then 'canned gas" is the safe ticket.

@outdoorfreedom9778 5 лет назад

If your worried about the alcohol in the pump gas then simply remove it. There are a number of videos that will show you how. I have done it using 5 gallons of gas at a time. It's easy and you also have ethanol on hand if you need it. The simple thing to do is simply run your equipment dry at the end of the season.

@williamadams2240 5 лет назад

@ElectoneGuy 8 лет назад

I use standard grade 87 octane, 10% ethanol in my snowblower and lawnmower and have never had a gasoline related issue. I drain the tank and the carb at the end of the season and make sure my gas is fresh. I also mix in a little small engine fuel conditioner although it probably isn't needed.

Are use the 50 to 1 fuel mix like you were advertising here but I also bought some regular 90 and put the steel mix oil in the 5 gallon bucket I had a 5 gallon mix so I mixed it in and then I put it in the old old cans that I had save me a lot of money!

tru fuel is worth every penny. my equipment starts every time i need it now.

If you buy synthetic 2stroke oil and add stabilizer and buy high octane gas it will still be around $3.75 gallon cheaper in long run to buy premix true fuel because of the consistency it has

i have noticed that gas stations are offering more and more NON ETHANOL FUELS, its about time ethanol eats at certain parts inside some parts and its all over ,,,,nice vid kiddo love em

I think if I every bought gas generator for use during power outages, I would have this on hand and never use pump gas that degraded so quickly. After all, what is the point of an alternate electrical source if it will not start because of old fuel?

I know this is old thread. I recently sold a an extra MS 170 that was never used. Buyer's first Stihl saw. I strongly recommended Trufuel or Stihl Motomix . I use it to to store all of my OPE. BTW prices of Trufuel and saws and all equipment has really jumped. Ouch

I use true fuel in my echo gt200r grass trimmer and my Husqvarna 125BVX leaf blower I gotta say the fuel works great!

Dony, I know you did this video a couple years ago but I still post link. Just did again on a chainsaw site. Gentleman asking about 93 vs 87 pump gas. Only used couple gallons a year. Your explanation is so good. Thanks again.

donyboy73 I did see older vid on storing pressure washer. Trufuel preferred to draining fuel or personal preference? My Trufueled 2 cy snowblower started 1st pull.

I have used Trufuel in the past & it's a great product, However , the price keeps me from using it all season, so I buy a couple cans in the fall to run in my 2 cycle equipment.

@MyGreenLawn2019 2 года назад

I would agree, the price is pretty high on this product, I can not justify it.

JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS STUFF! I WILL BE USING THIS IN MY 4-WHEELER, LAWNMOWERS AND MAYBE JET SKI'S.

It's hard to find real information about fuel and ethanol, but I have a personal theory I've seen possibly supported (although I can't find a real source at this point, sorry) by other postings. Ethanol actually attracts moisture out of the air, so when you have a gas that's 10% ethanol not only is it not fully a petroleum based product and not optimal for lawn equipment OR cars, but it also draws moisture out of the air. It's basically putting water in your gas a little at a time all the time.

Just starting using this it works really good I gonna buy some more soon. Thanks for the tips dony keep up the great video.

I do like the idea of not leaving the engine dry during storage. This way I can just dump the old fuel gas up start it and get the engine warm. Turn it off and store it. Does this mean no more fogging necessary? :)

@wjem13 8 лет назад

Looks like a good product, the only problem i see is the cost. Here in the U.S. it cost about $25.00 a gallon. It would be cheaper to buy a new carburetor every year. I use sta bil all year around and never have a problem.

In some states gas stations have separate pumps that sell ethanol free gas at a higher price. Unfortunately here in MA I think it is required for all gas to contain ethanol.

@paulhewgill6624 8 лет назад

I can see the market for this, especially for seasonal 2 stroke equipment, or seldom used chainsaws or just use it as your last fill up at the end of the season. Great video Don!

@BarryB382 3 года назад

That's the best way to winterize, I use a turkey baster, empty all the gas, run it dry then add 4 stroke tru-fuel and your equipment runs great every spring. I do it with snow blowers to for the summer.

@WJCTechyman 8 лет назад

I would use it but it is expensive, especially since I use my equipment often enough it isn't really economical. Besides I add stabilizer to my fuel anyway.

@ZombieDaveAZ 6 лет назад

I appreciate the effort that Dony makes in his videos but lets go 1 step further on this subject. Assume this and other products like it work as described. If you store your machine 1/2 tank or so and there is room for condensation you would need to add an alchohol based product to absorb the water and make it combustable. Alchohol is ethanol. You can buy it as 'dry gas' to absorb the water in your tank to keep it from freezing and causing big problems. BUT it is not friendly to carb parts and diaphragms on small 2stroke engines. Confused? Good, So am I! Thanks Dony.👍

I only use this for the last run of the season or rarely used stuff. Pump gas when I use something allot... Easier on the wallet. I usually get the husqvarna stuff it's 95 octane.

@jacquesblaque7728 6 лет назад

What is the problem with de-fueling a machine before storing it? A big PLUS: doing that cleans out the tank of debris bits that WILL get in there. I dump the tanks into a white qt. container, making dirt visible, let it sit a couple minutes, then decant mix back into jug, using funnel. You could dump it into car's tank. I periodically wipe clean the white container with clean rag. Minute or less per machine, c'mon. Conscious thought is always an option.

@cerberusbonsaiarboricultur774 4 года назад

WOW thanks a TON @donyboy73!!!!!!! Was gooooooglin' to see if it was worth the extra $$$$ to get Husq fuel or MotoMix, had been oscillating between TruFuel (and walmart's "Small Engine Fuel SEF" product) as I wasn't certain so am thrilled to see you endorse this because I've watched enough of your vids to know #1 you're absurdly knowledgeable/a 'whizz kid' at this stuff by any measure, and #2 that if it were inferior I.....I know I just 'know' you from RU-vid but would bet dollars to donuts TruFuel couldn't bribe you enough to make-up a video like this! I'm very thankful for the link because, sadly, your endorsement isn't *all* I need here, sadly you were speaking of regular petrol as being bad due to ethanol....ethanol sucks for sure but it's not as bad as the olefins or aromatics, Steve's Saloon has a video ("truth of pump gas" or something is the title) that has a great deal of info including Stihl infographics, paraffines are what you want in your fuel ie a pure alkylate fuel is best, Motomix is nearly a pure alkylate I'm going to check into TruFuel to see if it's the same.....***Have you ever run any tests?*** Our fuel provides the bang for the saws, if your fuel was ~50% alkylate fuel (which is basically gas station fuel, maybe 50-70% alkylate fuel) and you did baseline cuts then swapped to Motomix I am virtually positive you'll be faster I just dunno if it'd be 2% or 15%!!
