$20 a gallon? Wtf


Worth it. Thing fired right up. You don’t use that much over a year. A call is $100 minimum.

Old maintenance guy last year told me to use it. It’s what gas was in the 1970s without all the extra crap clogging the injector.

He was full-on butt-crack certified so I listened. He was right.

I’ve simply added “Stabil” fuel treatment to my gas cans whenever I fill them (year round). About an ounce per gallon. Never had a issue, and don’t run my mower or snow blower dry each season. My Toro is 18 years old, starts on the first pull each year.

I did not have your same experience with that method. But I’ve heard that works.

I went to Plan B.

Whatever avoids a trip to the small engine repair guy is worth it. BTW, I do perform routine maintenance.

I’ll keep that in mind.

My old one I had for 15 years died out. Worked every year. Had to get this fancy new one.

My last year guy told me they changed motors from US to Japanese made on this model.

Figures. USA!!!

Things can change with winter storms pretty quickly, but right now it looks like there is a 99% chance you will not fly out of MDW or ORD after about 11am on Saturday. See if you can change it to an early AM flight or get out tomorrow if possible.

Rebooked to an 11:25 am flight. Just boarded so it’s looking like the right move. Multiple flights to Orlando were cancelled so we got lucky on that. They also were offering $1,200 vouchers for 3 passengers to change to a tomorrow flight. Probably should have gone for it since we have a free day tomorrow. A bit too slow though. He who hesitates…

Old maintenance guy last year told me to use it. It’s what gas was in the 1970s without all the extra crap clogging the injector.


so it's premium unleaded gasoline, probably with stabil added. you can make your own for less than $4/gallon.

which makes sense. you have to imagine, to make that TruFuel, they need to markup 3-4x for profit. after packaging, distribution, etc, they might get 30% to keep. but at the end of the day, theyre basically repackaging premium gasoline that you can get at any gas station.

I used to use Stabil. Didn’t work on the new machine.

My old one fired up every year.

I don’t mind being called stupid. It works.

The widowmaker is ready to rock now but the real satisfaction comes from moving 9 inches of wet snow all at once. Tomorrow will be fun.

I understood half of that. If I don’t break this snowstorm up into chunks I’m fucked.

My snowblower is the weakest piece of shit. I say every year I’ll get a new one but I don’t. I just berate my pos snowblower. It really sucks. It’s the only thing in the world impressed by 5in.

Thankfully, the snow was not heavy and wet here. Already shoveled the driveway and it's covered again.

Not sure how much snow we’ve gotten but the wind is blowing cold and it’s starting to drift. Hauled a ton of firewood this morning just in case.

That’s the kind of stuff that gunks up my lil bitch snowblower. I expect the slush will stick to the weak little rubber augers and I’ll be well on my way to telling the machine how disappointed I am that it exists.

That's why I passed on getting a snow blower when my wife brought it up yesterday.

If you make the plunge get steel augers and at least 24” in width. Otherwise you’re better off with a good shovel.
