Other then using true fuel or the likes, is there any pump fuel that can last over a year or even better 2 years? I dont use much mixed gas but when I need to cut up a tree I want good fuel

Yeah, I got some 6 yr old gas in my garage. I start my auger with it 2x a year. Works great. Don’t spill. Lasts long. Saves me downtime and repair on lightly used engines.
Its called… trufuel.

October 30, 2020 at 7:47 am #1983865Just mix less, pretty simple math…
Or dump the rest into your car it wont know the difference.October 30, 2020 at 8:22 am #1983884I’ve had non ox mixed gas easily last over a year.
Biggest things I think help:
As others have said, only mix a gallon of gas at a time.
Drain the fuel from the saw. Fuel drying out and gumming up the carb is a way bigger problem than bad gas. I’ve fixed a lot of 2 stroke equipment that has had this issue, if you leave fuel in it, you’re going to eventually have a problem.
Put a piece of duct tape on the side of the can and write the date on it with a sharpie. After a year, dump what’s left in the truck and start over.
