I am amazed at the extremes Hams will go to save a nickle! You can get a can of Trifuel or VP at Home Depot , Northern Tool or NAPA. Run the gas out of it and pour in the Trifuel. Run the engine for 5 min to be sure all the gas is out. Unit already for storage. If you need to run it for several hrs, just use regular gas an repeat the steps when returning it to storage. Driving 50 miles to get gas is nuts. I know how it get the ethanol out of the gas, but 1 accidental spark there goes the savings, your house, garage and maybe your life. All to save $10.00. Trifuel or it’s equivalent has no ethanol, MBTE or other compounds . I am not aware of the content of the fuel from the other outlets. I Assume it is a form of white gas with some octane booster. By the way, I have pressure washer and a generator that I only use once or twice a year, this is how I store them, they never fail to start. One additional note, Trifuel and the like are high in volatiles and will evaporate out of the fuel tank. Make sure you shut the air breather on your fuel tank (if it has one) or use a rubber gasket on the fuel lid, otherwise you may not have fuel in the tank in a year, but you will not have any Gum or varnish.
