Ethanol and Outdoor Power Equipment










A quick note on Ethanol and Outdoor Power Equipment.


Today the EPA approved E15 fuel for use in the U.S.  This fuel is 85% Gasoline and 15% Ethanol from corn in most cases.  While you can run E10 or 10% Ethanol in most Power Equipment, E15 or above can cause some very serious issues. Stalling, hard starting, brittle fuel lines, even burnt valves and other internal engine damage may occur.  Please be watchful of the fuel you use. Most warranties do not cover repairs for fuel related problems. All new equipment sold at Small Engine Specialty is compatible with E10 and below.  Still, make sure you never use fuel older than 30 days or left out in a non-sealed container. Water is attracted to the Ethanol in today’s fuel and can be especially harmful to 2-stroke engines. Keep your machine running great, especially if it is only used occasionally with our K100 fuel additive. It can combat the effects of Ethanol in fuel and really help maintain the performance of your Outdoor Power Equipment!
