    I been doing my research and I work in the logging industry so to speak.I work for a John Deere dealership and sale and repair logging equipment.I talk to loggers every day and they all have switched to this pre mix gas .Its ready to go just pour it in the tank and fire it up.They all said same that they havent had to rebuild a carb since they made the switch.Also better performance.Yall won't like the.price.This is one gallon in the photo and its 27 bucks a gallon.If it will increase shelf life of my small engine equipment ill go with it.These loggers are buying 50 gallon drums at a time.Yikes!

    I know Stihl makes their 'motomix' but I still mix my own. I'm a poor fool, I can't afford that expensive stuff. I'll replace the carb when I need to lol.

    I love it. I've been using it for the weed eater
    Then again, I hate the mixing.

    For many years I raced Motocross 79-86 always premixed based on highly modified 2. stoke engines. If one was to go to a Motorsports Shop and buy a bottle of Belray, Yamaha R, I'm sure Lucas is making a great 2 stroke oil now as well that can be gotten any autoparts store, mix it right. I don't think it's the oil caused problems its the shitty Gasoline we have now. Jmo

    Very true. The gas seems to be getting shittier and shittier.

    A lot of two stroke companies are offering extended warranties when the pre-mixed fuel is purchased.

    When I bought the Jonsered chain saw I got an extra year or maybe two, can't remember, by buying two quart cans of the pre-mix.

    The place where I bought it is a service center as well. He says any piston/ring/cylinder warranty issues are analyzed and they can tell whether their brand was used at start up. I find that hard to believe but I am not in that field. But I bought it anyway.

    It is easier and now I do not have three-four-five mix cans in the shop. I had an old 32:1, a 40:1, a 50:1 and then a regular gas can. Now I am down to one gas can and a mixed can on the shelf.

    I have been using Chevron Supreme for yrs and I run Stihl mixing oil.I changed spark plug recently in my weedeater its been over 2 yrs.Chevron Supreme is best I can get around here.I do have some friends that are using airplane fuel in thief small engines and it would be cheaper than pre mix.I.was just so pleased with pre mix I went and bought some after I tried it.

    If you get a good mix and the carb adjusted right, you shouldn't have to much build up. A lot of times it's the carbs that get ya, these new emission laws affect the type of jets and carbs we use now, a few carb tweaks on some of these newer engines and they would not only run better but last longer. I used to race quads, mainly 250R's, had a few Banshees and even a Blaster, always ran two strokes.

    I tell you what , Craftsman sets the carbs where they think they should be and don't test them.Put it in a box and send it lol.That's what I was told anyway.

    I, just like you, keep some seafoam on hand at all times. I run it in everything from vehicles to quads to tractors. And definitely in the Stihl stuff too. If the premix wasn't so expensive I may do it but I use too much gas in the Stihl to make it economical to use it.
