Hi everyone,
I have a question. What is the best additive for 2 cycle gas? I have a Stihl chainsaw and string trimer. They are about ten years old. I have been using Stihl 2 cycle oil and 89 octane gas. Have not had any major trouble up until now, they both started when I went to use them. Then, this last tank of gas, I went to use the trimer and I couldn't get it started. I don't if it is bad gas or maybe ethanol in the gas finally caused issues?
I know using ethanol free is better for the 2 cycle equipment, the problem is, the closest station that has it is about an hour away.
What can I do to get the trimer running again? And if I can get it running, is there an additive I can use to clean things up?
I noticed in the last couple of years, there is a number of additives that are now on the shelves to treat ethanol gas. What is the best way to avoid issues like this (not starting) going forward?
Thanks,
