What type of gas do y'all use? Regular, premium or mid grade? What about additives like stabil?

Premium + stabilizer

It's a lawn mower engine! Unless you have mods don't worry. Just try and find non ethanol

I use mid grade and use the stabil ethenal treatment (blue) for marine environments.

Premium non ethanol

I use premium but I got some aff gas I'm itchin to put in and try

Premium with an inline water/fuel separator

Small engines ALWAYS use premium. Add stabilizer with each tank as well.

Coming from some outboard techs that do a lot of work on racing motors, this is what I've been told:

Whether it's cars, small engines, boats. . .high-octane gasoline is only necessary in engines with higher compression to prevent early detonation. There's no advantage in regular engines.

If you let gasoline sit, it will eventually begin to lose octane. So, if you let it sit for a long time the premium may offer a benefit. Sta-bil will prevent phase separation and loss of octane rating in gasoline. But if you turn your tank over fairly often, it's not necessary.

If you can find non-ethanol (usually recreational fuel, here it's 90 Octane), it will save you a lot of headaches and money. If you have to run ethanol fuel, purchase the black diesel-grade fuel lines, not the grey UV resistant pliable fuel lines. Do yourself a favor and trust me on this. I've been through two sets of "ethanol resistant" grey lines on my flats boat and once I went black, I'll never go back...

Tgunn, would you mind posting a link to that type of line? I'll be rigging a new tank here shortly

And if you ever have any amount of water that gets in your gas, no worries, just give the tank a good shake an you'll be good to go.

Premium with marine stabil here. I don't burn enough gas in mine to make a difference $ wise in an open water season.

JP5 in mine....I passed pintail drake so fast the other dau sucked that Gator Tail decal right off his motor!

Juuuust kidding. 93 premium, BG fuel system drier (aluminum can) plus my gas doesn't sit long enough either.

You're right I taught you well. I will always be a step ahead lol

Why are y'all wasting money? Premium means 91 octane which means it has higher resistance to combustion. That's it. There is about 10 people on this thread that are wasting money. Its not making you any faster or better for your engine(disclaimer: modded engines it makes a diffrence) I only use stabil if I plan to leave my motor up for an extended period of time. My motor has never had stabil

Av gas

I run balm 93 and av gas. Works for me

go to ur local hardware they might sell this stuff by the foot!! the last 1 on the page!!

While drinking a beer!

And my cap turned sideways

In Canada we can still get ethanol-free gasoline if we buy Shell Gold (premium). I still add stabiliser as well as Mercury fuel treatment for my boat and other small engines to try to avoid gumming up if the fuel sits around for a while.
As far as I know other Canadian premium gasolines may have up to 10% ethanol.

AV gas
