Question maybe you can answer lol
My lawn mower and snowblower I have them 10 plus years. A couple of years after getting them they needed the carburetors rebuilt, both had rebuilt carburetors twice in 3 years. I was using one place for the mower, another for the snow blower. On the 2nd rebuild of the snow blower I made a comment to the mechanic about all these rebuilds on both items. He said it's the Ethanol they use in the gas, it corrodes these small motors, he told me to use Sta-Bil when I fill the 2 gal. gas containers.

So, I have been using Sta-Bil for years and no more rebuilding of carburetors on either of these. A few weeks ago I used Wawa to gas up my car, they changed their gas pumps and now has added a pump that is Ethanol free.

So here is the question lol
Can I use the Ethanol free for the mower and snow blower and stop adding the Sta-Bil to the 2 gal. container, they changed the Sta-Bil making it difficult to add the right amount to a 2 gal. tank.
