I was advised to NEVER use ethanol fuel in my chainsaw if I wanted it to work more than once. So far I have had good luck with the $8/quart "chainsaw fuel", but last night I had a tree go down and I was out of the $32/gal fuel. I decided to DIY some fuel, so I grabbed a quart of 100 octane avgas, added the correct amount of 2 stroke oil, and bit of SeaFoam. So far so good, the saw ran fine.
Does anyone see any problem with continuing to use this mix? I would really rather pay $5/gal than $32/gal. I keep a jug full because the lawn mower warranty is void if I use ethanol gas in it. I also enjoy the lack of stink perfume in avgas.
*it isn't the gasoline that stinks so much, but some stinky crap added to car gas to make it less appealing to glue sniffing kids
