I have been running alternative fuels in all the trucks (B100 biodiesel) and have been running E85 ethanol fuel in the mowers. Do you think this fuel has a future for our equipment and should this fuel be ok for the 2-stroke hand helds??
Its a corn based bio-fuel....and the RON octane rating is 105. The mowers have been running like usual on this fuel. Didn't know if I had to worry about any sideaffects from this fuel in the near future. I know not all cars can run on it for one reason or another. Brother in law called ford and they said he can't run it in his V-10 because it will clog the injectors, they mentioned that he could run it in the triton V-8 not the V-10...go figure!
Just checking to see who else runs the E-85?
Have been getting it for around $2.10 per gallon
