[QUOTE="Wisconsonian, post: 7725149, member: 150618"] Just don't ever run a two cycle engine out of fuel. Ethanol has been in most fuel at 10% for at least 30 years in the US. E85 also available, so lots of experience with custom mixes in lots of cars. I've never seen or heard of cars having issues with E10, but it sure could be like all the old cav pumps from the 60's that started leaking with ULSD. I drove late 70's vehicles all the way through to ones rated for it and no problems. No problem RUNNING it in two cycles either, but don't let it sit in my opinion. Stale fuel will be hard to start, and you'll have to keep the choke on for it to run. Use fresh fuel, or fuel from a can. Quart can about $6, $20/gallon US. Most fire depts will use that exclusively in two cycles. [/QUOTE]
