2. Ethanol fuel is bad

This doesn’t even mention or go into detail about how harmful ethanol laced fuel is for smaller engines. Ethanol is hydroscopic and gums up the small passages in carburetors. If you aren’t careful about end of season maintenance on your lawnmowers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, outboard motors it’s not uncommon to have huge maintenance bills to replace the equipment or get the carburetors rebuilt. An entire cottage industry has sprung up (at significant cost) to supply these engines with ethanol free options to avoid this. https://trufuel50.com/
Since non ethanol fuel is not an option in my state, I’m forced to use this to avoid problems
