Feeling the Heat
I was using 87 with 10% ethanol in my husky. Started to run terrible . So I switched to 93 without ethanol and she runs like a champ
The 32oz cans of fuel Husqvarna sells is non ethanol 95 octane 50:1, since I can't find 95 octane I use 93 octane without ethanol. The manual says not to use fuel under 87 octane or more that 10% ethanol. Using fuel with more than 10% ethanol will void the Husqy warranty. To simplify my life I emptied all the cans with straight gas into my car and dumped all mixed fuel into one gas can, I then bought 5 gallons of 93 octane premium and made a fresh 1/2 gallon of 32:1 mix to use in all my 2 cycle toys. I will keep the rest to run all my small engine toys with 93 octane non ethanol gas. The new Husqy will never taste ethanol.I was using 87 with 10% ethanol in my husky. Started to run terrible .

Is this like Stabil or Seafoam?Amsoil Saber has stabilizer in it.
Is this like Stabil or Seafoam?
I'm always open to see what works for other people. I have always used Stabil in my fuel cans after October because I don't know how long the fuel will be in the cans. I keep Seafoam around because it can be used in both gas and diesel. When I got sick in 2001 I left the same diesel in my backhoe for almost 15 months, I drained the tank and filter but the Seafoam treated diesel in the tubes still started the 3 cylinder Perkins engine in less than 10 seconds of cranking. I was sold on it.Dunno the particular formulation. They advertise that there's stabilizer in it.

If it's not two stroke it isn't nessassaryI use 93 premium and Amsoil Saber in the saw.
93 premium in every single engine I have other than my truck.
Three dirt bikes (2 carbed, 1 fuel injected) 1 quad, snow blower, 2 lawnmowers, 2 saws, Log splitter, etc.
Never once (knock on wood) an ethanol issue, and I rarely treat them with stabilizer, and never drain carbs or gas tanks when not in use. I don't use junk gas, so I shouldn't have junk gas problems. That's just me and my opinion.
Maybe you didn't catch the date, winter 2001. Off road diesel was still at 500ppm so no lubricity issues at all, ULSD wasn't around for another 5 or 6 years.I use Sea Foam as a fuel system cleaner but I doubt it's value as a stabilizer for aging gasoline and seriously doubt it's benefits in diesel fuel because it's a slovent and has no lubrication qualities. ULSD is alerady dry (not much lubricating quality for injector pintles and micro honed surfaces in the injection pump) so why dilute what little lubricant there is in ULSD with another solvent.... Sea Foam.

It has been so long ago I don't remember whether I used the Seafoam as a fuel stabilizer or a fuel system cleaner. Back then no one worried about lubricity, it was all about old fuel and fouled injectors. But I do use Seafoam as an injector cleaner in my Duramax, because at 14mpg the fuel never goes stale.Candidly, I didn't.
