NO, do not use this crap!!

Ethanol is more autoignitable than gasoline. As a result, the higher compression ratio in the 2 stroke engine causes autoignition, causing engine knock, which is very bad news for this small 2 stoke engines:beer;

Basically, Ethanol is Alcohol, and alcohol does what to oil????....thats right, chases it away and does its best to make a dry clean surface. and Alcohol does what to plastics and gasket materials????.....thats right, drys it up and will crack, not good:beer;

So, dont buy pump fuel with this crap in it, or you will burn down:cool:

I don't have any choice, 10% ethanol is all we have around here. I have been running 50/50 with 110 and have had no probs so far
