fishinwrench Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 If you're buying fuel that is advertised as "Alcohol/Ethanol free", and it looks like this.....  Don't !   It truly does test free of alcohol/ethanol......but it's terrible.  I can't get a carbureted motor to run well on it, and EFI engines....while they will idle ok on it, have holeshot problems and a loss of top end RPM. Switch to plain 87-89% octane w/10% or less ethanol.... and she runs like a dream.  Just a heads up.  Fresh regular fuel is what you want.  Not anyone's special blend, Premium, or any of that malarkey. 🙄 dpitt, dan hufferd, Seth and 2 others 4 1
fishinwrench Posted May 6, 2022 Author Posted May 6, 2022 I've been plagued with bad fuel issues this Spring.  Worse than ever before.  Not sure what's going on in the fuel industry right now, but us small engine guys are having a fit with it.  Could be the switchover from "winter blend", I don't know.  But it's a definite "thing".  I blame the commander in chief ! 🙄 tho1mas, fshndoug, dan hufferd and 3 others 4 2
fishinwrench Posted May 6, 2022 Author Posted May 6, 2022 Not sure what that Chartreuse Dip-n-dye looking stuff is.......but it doesn't kill pokeweed or grass.  What kinda "gasoline" doesn't kill grass??? 🤔 dtrs5kprs 1
MrGiggles Posted May 6, 2022 Posted May 6, 2022 Almost looks like the color of on-road diesel. Wonder if the fuel man hit the wrong hole for a second... -Austin

jdmidwest Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 Probably dumping and doing dye tracing on rivers at the same time. I guess that is why the pump says "do not dispense in glass containers". They don't want you to see what is in it. Shell posted a 3.1 billion profit for 1st quarter according to one report. They stated obscene profit. Probably alot of urine in that sample made it yellow. dtrs5kprs and snagged in outlet 3 2 "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S.

Ketchup Posted May 7, 2022 Posted May 7, 2022 I think you grabbed the wrong jar. That there looks like moonshine. TinBoats BassClub.  An aluminum only bass club. If interested in info send me a PM.Â
