I must admit � I once accidentally put 25:1 in my 4 stroke Tecumseh engine Alroh edger � only put about 150mL in the tank before I realised though, and I filled the rest of the tank with straight petrol.

I personally use 98 octane petrol, no machine seems to object to it over 91 or 95 that I have also tried. The Victa powertorque mower starts first go, the full cranks start first or second, McCulloch Leaf blower and Ryobi Line trimmer usually first go (if I get them off full choke quick enough smile ). Probably a bit of a waste of money, but for the little amount of fuel I use, I have no complaints. If I have left over straight fuel after 1.5 months, it just goes in the car.
