How does it handle the new Ethanol enhanced fuels? From 10% to 15%.

My husband put it on the snow blower. He has no problem with 10% ethanol fuel, but he has not experience anything with 15% ethanol fuel. Hope this helps you. Mary B

The way it is configured now, it's only gasoline. I'm sure it could be re-configured for alternative fuels.

The blower takes regular (87 octane) gasoline (ethanol is OK) and 2 cycle oil. Instructions for mixing the oil/gas are included with the blower.

Yes-- but no more than 10% ethanol. Additionally, even 10 % ethanol has a tendency to ruin any rubber hoses, carburetor diaphragms, etc. I personally use non ethanol gas in all my small engines. Hope this helps.

We try and avoid ethanol to ensure proper running of the engine. We are pleased so far.

I put the required amount in some ethanol gas that was three years old and ran it in my lawnmower with no problem. This gas had stabil added 3 years ago. Worked great!!

I have heard that gas with ethanol goes bad pretty fast, and that is what all the gas is now at regular gas stations. To be on the safe side, you probably ought to drain your tank and get rid of the old stuff. Pri-G is best added when the fuel is fresh to keep it from going bad in the first place--I don't think it can restore it if it is already bad. We buy pure gas with no ethanol in it for some smaller four stroke machines we have, and the guy who sold it to us said that it is a lot more stable than gas with ethanol in it. He said he could leave the pure gas in the tank of his motorcycle for a long time without any additives and it was fine. I am not an expert on these things however and I would suggest that you consult your mechanic on this issue as they probably have good experience with it and can tell you if the old gas will damage your engine.

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.

Yes it does. It is easy to pull too. I found out it doesn't like ethanol based gas very much, so try to use the 'good' stuff.

Unleaded gasoline or "gas". 87, 89 or 91 octane. 10% ethanol is ok but use stabilizer if storing. Ethanol free gas is better. I recommend avoiding this pump. Its crap. Spend a little more on a better brand if you need to rely on it at all.

You didn't say which engine you have. My Honda starts every time on 1st or 2nd pull, even after sitting for several weeks. Usually your type problem is fuel related. Try using fresh 93 octane with additive for countering ethanol. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Empty existing fuel, don't just add.

The filter will remove particulate matter. Ethanol should not have any effect.

We used this in 2013 with the new fuels that had the10% ethanol in them. We didn't have a problem. I think after this product makes the hard coating it does not matter.

Make sure the gas is fresh. If it's set anytime with ethanol in it, it wil lsuffer 'phase seperation' & form a mess in your tank. Clean or replace the fuel filter. Ethanol can attack the fuel lines & plug small orfices in a carb. Once you do get it straightened out, be sure to doctor your fuel with a good fuel conditioner/ preservative such as StaBil. Should keep the fuel 'sweet' for a year or so. Good luck.

Yes, I do with no problems. However, I would not use any gas that is more than 10% ethanol, such as E85.

It worked fantastic with my ethanol set up... I'm not a chemist so I can't say for sure but it seems to me it should work fine.
