It gums up the carburetor and fuel lines. i’m told. The way it was explained to me is that small engines don’t get hot enough to burn that shit off completely, whereas it’s fine in modern cars. I’m not a mechanic, so I don’t know if that’s 100% correct. All I know is it made sense to repair the $1800 snowblower, and didn’t make sense to have the $120 string trimmer repaired (though I did try everything I knew to try in attempt to revive it on my own before replacing it).
Interesting note, before i switched to Rec fuel, my inexpensive poulan chainsaw was left with old 87 octane in it for 5 years, completely unused during that time. Then I fired it up with that old gas in it. And it still runs to this day. So I guess you never know. Sometimes you can get lucky, I suppose.





Thats it-- i’m adding weatherstripping under my toilet seat
