Does this product contain Fuel Stabilizer?

Yes, it does contain Fuel Stabilizer. Great for off season to help jets from getting clogged and keeping fuel fresh. Highly recommended. Its what I use in all my 2 stroke motors.

Yes! Purchased brand new and after about 2 months of usage the fuel line had turned from its pinkish color to a blackish brown and had dissolved at the tank end. I was told that the TruFuel pre-mixed stuff I was using was too potent for the fuel line so I've moved to a gas/oil mix. I purchased a new fuel line from ereplacements for about $5. Have had no problem for the last year with the new line, and use of reg. gas/oil.

Yes, but i don't like it (the bag). Comes with a cleaning kit. Nozzles for each type of fuel. it's easy and fun to use. used it a few times already.

Yes. While the engine is running, shut off the fuel supply line and wait until the engine dies. That will clear the engine of fuel. Then disconnect the fuel line at the carburetor and drain the tank into a bucket or gas can. Sorry it took so long to reply. I was out of town. If you are draining your unit for storage, it is safe to put a fuel stabilizer in the fuel and store it still in a well ventilated place. If you are shipping it then the purge method above is ideal. I have also found this generator runs better on ethanol free fuel. It stays tuned longer and runs cooler.

No. I use K 1 kerosene..(clear). Forget red... #1 or #2 diesel or fuel oil.

All outdoor power equipment is negatively impacted by ethanol, regardless of brand. You can use ethanol free 50:1 mix but that can get expensive. Other then that, use stabil and don't put fuel older than 2 months into any of your equipment.

I seem to remember it does. My concern with B&S is simple things, such in my case there had been water in the fuel tank. Boroscope inspection found corrosion, and the carburetor had a bunch of corrosion as well. They needed to replace the fuel tank and carb, and were not going to honor their warranty saying I had put water in it. But this was how I received it. After 2 hours of calling and talking to about 6 different people, they finally relented and were going to replace both. But now I have to wait SEVERAL months to get the generator back due to "no parts available"?!?! To say I am not impressed with the customer service or their ability to make things right when a problem arises.

No. Don't you just love how they don't mention that ANYWHERE on the page? I also like how they show the fuel canister in the photo AND call it a "system."I complained about this two years ago... I see the page still hasn't changed to reflect that it does not come with fuel.Some would retort, stating it's common sense. I say there's a first time to learn everything--I wasn't born knowing that fuel doesn't generally come with stoves when the frickin picture denotes otherwise.

The manual recommends non-ethanol fuel with a min 87 octane. If ethanol is used, a ethanol fuel stabilzer will need to be added. I am currently using non-ethanol gas and also added Stabil as a precaution. So far the unit operates fine.

I am not sure. It does say on the label that it "Preserves up to 10 gallons of fuel for 24 months". I don't see a date on the bottle as to when it was made.

The engine manual for this edger says that gas with 10% ethanol is okay and is what I have been using in this edger for the past two years of heavy use , and the engine still runs as it did on the first day it was started. All modern small engines are designed to run on 10% ethanol gas. If you use fuel stabilizer in all the gas that you buy for your small engines you will never have an ethanol problem.

Not according to the label. But I am not impressed with it promoting anything other than gas :)

That's all I use and haven't had any issues. I make sure to use fresh fuel (89 octane-mid grade) and treat with startron for storage. I'm sure the fuel system is ethanol safe as are all IC engines and fuel systems made today. If you have easy access to non oxygenated fuel, of course that would be preferable.

When I purchased mine, that offer was valid. Not sure if it still exists but you might check their web site. It's a good idea no matter. The ethanol in today's gasoline wrecks havoc on these small engines particularly because they aren't used everyday. Using a fuel that is devoid of ethanol means I don't need any additives and it's a high quality fuel to start with. I will be using their fuel (or equivalent) in my machine.

sorry I didn't respond earlier, computer down. Yes it comes with everything you need except the fuel. Do follow all breaking in directions carefully

If you follow instructions, not difficult at all. I put StaBil gas stabilizer in the ethanol-free gasoline I use. Run all gas out of the carburetor when finished. Usually starts on first or second pull.

I am fairly certain that it does not. However, some of the bottle's label was like acid burned away because it was coated in some of the fluid in the packaging. It was pretty odd packaging as mentioned in my review.
