[QUOTE="Stand Up, post: 498268, member: 31842"] Airshot. I don't mean "junk in the fuel" like pieces or flakes of junk but rather the fuel contains things that gum up in various carburetor uses. I can burn anything in my Ford F -150 but if I use low octane fuel in the motorcycle or lawnmower etc. it will gum up the jets. I use the highest octane available at the local gas station for small motor use and I ended the problem. They add ethanol to fuels these days and[B] Ethanol is a domestically produced alternative fuel most commonly made from corn[/B]. It is also made from cellulosic feedstocks, such as crop residues and wood—though this is not as common. You can run any fuel you wish in your equipment as it's your choice. Oh, and burning premium in your gas engine will do it no harm. I believe my advice is relevant and given with experience. [/QUOTE]
