[Milsurplus] [BoatAnchors] Little "Field Day" Genny, Remarkable Price.

[antqradio at sbcglobal.net]

I use one of these products mixed with 5 gallons of gas for the 4 cycle lawn equipment.  Use to have problems, especially with the 2 cycle weed wacker, but using a gas stabilizer seems to have cured the problems.  Really have no idea about fuel efficiency, etc.

Has anyone tried the STA-BIL stabilizer designed to protect against Ethenol:

It looks like a nice package including a DC output for charging etc. The
problem is the fuel. Ethanol has been reported to be very corrosive and
harmful to small engines. I have had luck  using "premixed" premium fuel
purchased at Lowe's, Home Depot etc. on my 2 cycle equipment but the fuel is
expensive. I've recently had to completely rebuild a Honda generator carb
due to damage by using Ethanol fuel over a several year period.
You can read up on the corrosive problem by searching for:
