When you live on the top of a mountain,,as I do when you go to town you top off the tank on the truck and fill two or three 5 gal tanks for the UTV, Generator and so on..Sea Foam is your friend and so is Staybil...I also only fill the Generator and UTV with Ethanol Free fuel What are your thoughts on this?? DD
 
I only use ethanol free in the boat, but the truck gets what it gets. I do keep em topped off though.
 
Just had to pay Ed Williams to repair my carb on my pressure washer due to ethanol. We talked of this same issue & for my 5 gallon containers I usually try to find non-ethanol & go ahead and add stay-bil anyway---REQUIRED IN ETHANOL! Ed says he's always used Stay-bil with good results. Another screw job by our fearless leaders! I'm currently up here in these beautiful mountains too! We always carry chainsaws as on these little old narrow roads, trees can sometimes tie you up , however it seems the two cycle oil kinda works well with my chain saws , as last year I forgot & left my Sthil filled up, didn't run it for over a year- and it's working fine. :)

My driveway is 1/4 mile off the road and full of trees, I keep non ethanol fuel mix and oil for the chain saws but always run them out of gas when finished..Tired of repairing them same as the generators..DD
 
I only use ethanol free in all my stuff ... My car gets about 20% more mileage and runs better I hauled gas for 21 years before I became disabled and you see some nasty stuff around the terminals how they mix and stuff like that ... The ethanol is nasty it evaporates also and leaves you with a lower octane in the gas that remains ....
