And chain saws!!!!!  I cranked mine enough to clear cut 1/2 of the 
county until I found the fuel hose problem.

My fuel always has MMO mixed in unless I forget.  It is usually mixed 
right in the fuel storage tank.  I used to buy it in 15 gal drums, but 
they quit packaging it that way.  Or possibly my supplier quit handling 
it that way.  I have to use it in the 100LL aviation fuel to keep my 
Pratt & Whitney R1340 running smooth.  2 gallons MMO in 1000 gallons of 
100LL.  In the eyes of the feds, it becomes contaminated fuel.  It sure 
does smooth out that old radial, though.  My John Deeres like it too.
