I only run the canned fuel in my small engines because the E10 is all I can get can get from a pump.
I bought a gallon of premixed fuel at tractor supply a few weeks ago.
Today I filled my weed blower up with it.
Would not run.
I changed plugs and all the usual stuff. It will run on starting fluid for a second.
Never entered my mind that the fuel might be the problem after all it's a new can.
I try not to breathe the fumes so I guess I missed the smell.
After an hour or so I realized that it's diesel fuel.
I don't keep diesel here only gas.
I assume someone bought the can of gas, took the gas and refilled the can with diesel then returned it for a refund.
Maybe they siphoned a gallon of diesel from someone's tractor? I dunno.
I got some gas from my weed eater and put that in and it runs again.
I kinda feel like an idiot for taking so long to figure that out.
