Huh. I had the opposite experience, bought some canned hardware store fuel for my snowblower out of laziness, and it wouldn’t even run. Seemed to be too high octane or something, kept stalling out. Had to drain it completely, put regular gas in and it’s fine.
- nemo44x 2y agoThe octane shouldn’t matter. It was probably really old and broke down. The main advantage of the canned gasoline is that there’s no ethanol which is really bad for small engines. It attracts moisture and doesn’t burn evenly which is why canned fuel (or any non-ethanol fuel) is so much better.
- dalyons 2y agoMaybe? It was from Home Depot, given their turnover i assume it was pretty new. I’m just guessing at the octane, because it sounded like the engine was running too fast, if that makes sense. Small engines are built for e90 now, so it’s not a problem. Apart from storage.
