i have had the same things happen to my trimmer and blower for the yard , fyi the govt thinks this is a really great idea to blend ethanol and fuel which is stupid . cause there is no up side nothing runs as well as straight fuel no matter the octane level . e 85 cars are an absolute joke and half of all fuel pressure regulators fail cause of ethanol . the best part is we the tax payers pay for this by giving farmers more money for corn crop that will be used for creation of ethanol rather then food . stupid govt !
Use SEAFOAM! That's what the Farmers use.

The VEETC subsidies are 51 cents a gallon, direct to ethanol producers. $7.6 billion this year. That's just the direct subsidy, not everything. Thirty years on the dole, ethanol has to go.

I too have heard from many that Startron is the best product. One dealer in Indianapolis I know virtually eliminated the problems when he started using it exclusively.

I have had mixed results with Startron. My 496 HO will not see ethanol again with a $1500.00 bill. Marina non ethanol is $4.00 per gallon. On the other hand I use startron in my carbed 2 stroke outboard with a fiberglass fuel tank and no problems. If you want to know more about ethanol problems, check this web site Fuel-testers.com. It has alot of information. Pay and smile!!!
