[AT] New Question

[John Hall]

Cecil, I run a ton of gasoline equipment and NEVER drain the fuel or put 
stabilizer in anything. Grabbed a chainsaw last week that I don't recall 
using all year, fired right up. Got the Farmall M out last week to use 
and it fired right up, been sitting since late May. I use nothing but 
non-ethanol fuel.
