TruFuel 2-Cycle 50:1 Pre-Blended Fuel for Outdoor Power Equipment - 32 oz. (Case of 6) (6525638)

Sure it is slightly more expensive than taking a gas can to the station and mixing your own but there are a number of benefits that I think are worth the cost: 1. High Octane....if you purchase 91 or 93 Octane gas at the pump you a lot more than the typical 87 that people run in their outdoor equipment and that makes this seem not so expensive). 2. No Ethanol....priceless. Ethanol gums up and basically destroys your little motors and if you purchase and add a ethanol remover to the gas you get at the pump if you mix yourself you have to remember to include that in the cost. 3. Long Shelf Life. An unopened can is good for YEARS and for more than a year if you open it. DOn't try that with pump gas unless you are going to add stabil (and again that bumps the cost up). 4. Convenient size and no spills. Filling up a blower or a string trimmer or a chain saw with a 30-35lb 5 gallon gas can, while holding the safety nozzle open, etc....pain in the butt. This is much easier. Crack open a can, pour it in, work for a few hours. 5. Seems to have better fuel economy. Could the octane or ??? but I seem to have to fill up a lot less using these. For years I mixed my own and thought this was a bit decadent but I don't think I'll go back. The inaccuracies of mixing, the need for fuel stabilizer and ethanol remover in addition to the 2-stroke oil means you are measuring and mixing 3x. When you add in the extra power associated with the higher octane fuel and the costs/hassles of the mix-ins it really isn't that much more $$$ and in my mind, totally worth it.

A must for outdoor power equipment that doesn't always get used regularly. I learned the hard way after storing a snowblower with ethanol-containing fuel. It wouldn't start the next season and I had to get a new carburetor for it. I put this stuff in it and it started on the first pull and runs like a champ now. Plus, this fuel is good for 5 years, open or not.

works great

Great product?

Good ready mixed fuel at a good price.

So lets be honest. This is EXPENSIVE for what you get as far as size is concerned... I've never used this stuff prior to about a month ago.. It always seemed "hyped up". IE: Don't ever use normal gas in your 2-stroke engine it will destroy the world type deal.... AND to date I have NOT had issues using NORMAL fuel to the Echo oil I mix in with any of my stuff, AND it sits all winter long with fuel in the tank. I bought this stuff because there was a coupon on it and more importantly I bought a nice Echo chainsaw, and people swear up and down to use quality fuel in a chainsaw because they are a LOT more finicky than other 2-stroke tools. Fair enough. Fast forward to me using this for about a month now on chainsaw, blower, and string trimmer. All items are Echo and normally start up I'd say on the 3-5 pull string range. To me this is acceptable. On all tools there is a choke button that is pulled out. Pull the rope a couple times and then the engine "tries" to start then dies about 6 seconds later. Switch the choke the other way, pull the rope and boom it starts. With this fuel I notice one immediate difference. I pull the choke out, pull the rope ONCE, and the engine starts to chug (it doesn't die) then I am able to switch the choke the other way and the tool starts puttering away. This isn't a game change for me but clearly there is something going on here, perhaps the fuel is better than the gas station crap because in my two years of owning these tools I know how they feel/act and it NEVER did that ever, not even brand new. I like the container size, they are easy to carry around and they are easy to pour into the tool that I am using. I will note that NONE of my bottles had seal tabs on them which makes me wonder is that normal? Perhaps someone can chime in? On the box it states product lasts for X amount of time unopened yet if there is no air tight seal under the cap how is this possible? I might just be over thinking it but I would have thought there was a seal (think milk/orange juice container) that you pull off after you unscrew the cap. I will continue to use this honestly because the machines seem to run smoother and as stated above start right up on the first pull rope which blwos my mind because they never did that before. I am HALF tempted to try the 4 stroke gas in my lawnmower.... JUST because I had good experience with this stuff.

Great product, long shipping time. I could not find it locally.

Use all time for our small tools

Received as advertised, happy with purchase

I have purchased this product many times over the years maybe ten or twenty fuel is great easily packed and accessed and very good for small engines keeps the engine clean and therefore they run very well. Looks like FedEx delivery once again messed up " never received" and now I am apparently out 100 bucks therefore i will never buy this product again. and as this is the second time this year, I get struck with a bill for undelivered product or received damaged (both FedEx). I'm starting to question the amazon system as there doesn't seem to have accountability.
