Trufuel 2 cycle pre-mix question?

[Keith_Stone]

Any clue as to who's oil Trufuel uses in their pre-mix?

Try to find a place that sells ethanol free gas near you. They are popping up all around NC. Much cheaper to mix your own.

Dunno but it passes the latest specs. Wont find pure gas in ca so I wonder how long till the greenies go after the truefuel

I do not know, although this is my third year using it. I go through so little 2-cycle that it doesn't make sense for me to mix it. 2 quarts is all I usually use for some hedge trimming, the weed wacker, and a tank or two in the chainsaw.

My equipment starts easier and runs stronger on it. For such a little quantity, it makes sense for me.

I do 3-4 yards a week, and I still have continued to use TruFuel in my OPE. I like the clear color (it doesn't stain when it spills), I like how easy it is for the engines to start, and I like not having to worry about stale fuel. It looks like I'll go through about three cans this season, which is about $15 in fuel. A gallon of E10 plus stabilizer plus oil would cost at least $5 anyway. 10 bucks for piece of mind and very clean-burning engines is worth it to me.

I run most of my equipment at part throttle, and I find that TruFuel burns much cleaner than mix-your-own in my style of use. Seems that the engines would need full throttle before to keep the ports clean. TruFuel is a real winner in my book. Funny; I'd have never tried it before buying a few cans for free at O'Reillys this spring. Since then, I've truly become hooked on it.

Agree, this stuff is fantastic for a homeowner that uses 2-3 cans a year. For a commercial operation it would be too costly, but for homeowners, this stuff is excellent.
