| Post subject: | fuel question |
I have a question about what type of fuel i should run. i know ethanol free gas is what is recommended but, when i can't get any at all or can't get any in higher octane than 87. i know treatment for regular fuel but what brand treatment seems to work best? i would like to run high octane but in a stock 36 will it cause me any problems. like the motor was set to run on 87. i want to get the most i can out of it and while I'm waiting on my unicorn motor I'm trying to get all the knowledge i can. |

No point to run high octane if the motor isnt detonating. I have the same problem however, can only run ethanol. I use stabil year round and when the boat sits for a longer period of time I run it out of gas. With basically all the fuels in WI being ethanol blend you would think briggs would make their carbs accept it better. |

I've seen 93 recommended many times but be careful when going that route. 93 isn't moving as fast thru the pump as 87 so make sure you buy from a place that moves a lot of gas or it'll be old fuel that's sat in the stations tank for a while Sent from the company's iPad while at work |

I use Stabil Marine Ethanol treatment in every fill up in all my power equipment (two boats, three lawn mowers, snow-blower, pressure washer, weed whip, chainsaw, etc.) and I've never had a problem with any fuel issues ever. I'm also in Minnesota and equipment sits unused for months at a time. Fires right up every year (I also fog the engines before storage). Up here in corn country, basically ALL our gas has ethanol. |

Yeah you cant find non ethanol without driving 2 hours. GDS there have been several stations in my area that have been busted for putting 87 in 91 and 93 tanks as well. |
