"Good ain't Cheap and Cheap ain't Good."
When buying fuel for your ATV/UTV/Tractor, Lawn Mower/chainsaw/weedeater, this is Rule #1. Shell 93 Octane is the gas we use and never have fuel problems, and their diesel is in our tractor also; again, no fuel problems.
About 85 out of 100 customers we see have fuel problems due to using regular low-octane fuel. It may save you a few dollars at the pump, but the repair bill is much, much higher. When cheap fuel sits for 30 days, it causes major damage to carbs, injectors, fuel pumps, and shut-off valves; it wipes everything out. It's so caustic it eats the fuel valves up; they will no longer shut off on many occasions.
The only kickback we get from Shell is never having to work on our fuel systems. And we never use fuel stabilizers.
So, a word to the wise. As 1 commercial said when I was a youngster: "You can pay me now(at the pump) or you can pay a whole lot more at the repair shop later."
