Gasoline VS Ethanol -Plus Shop Tour & Small Engine Winterization and Care

What happens here

To mitigate ethanol-related damage, always choose non-oxygenated, non-ethanol fuel for your small engines. Standard 87 and 89 octane gasoline typically contain ethanol. While 92 octane premium fuel might or might not contain ethanol, it's crucial to always read the label on the fuel pump. Look for explicit labeling indicating 'no ethanol added' or 'non-oxygenated fuel'. Many gas stations do not carry non-oxygenated fuel, so you may need to seek out specific locations or specialty fuels.

Goal: Identify and use non-ethanol gasoline for small engines to prevent damage.
