TruFuel vs Fuel Conditioner ?

Sawyer Rob · Jun 7, 2016

I've used a fair amount of Tru fuel, and also Husqvarna 50-1 fuel/mix...

IF we go out to chainsaw for the day, I buy 94 octane pump gas, but I only buy what I will use THAT day... THEN, the last tank of gas that goes into all the saws, is the high priced spread...

I've had zero problems since I started doing that... Before I started doing that, I had several carb problems and a few disolved fuel lines...and THAT wasn't cheap! Even though I ran the saws out of gas at the end of the day!

I bought a 5 gallon can of Husky fuel for 80 bucks, and it will be a while before it's used up...

The Husky fuel is a "synthetic" fuel, not pump gas, it's 95 octane and has a much longer shelf life, up to 5 years...

Where does it say it's synthetic fuel. It uses synthetic oil and the fuel is treated with stabilizer, but I have yet to see anything claiming synthetic fuel.

Just another note - If you have multiple machines (we've 6 chainsaws, 3 weedwackers/brush cutters, and 2 generators, all 2 stroke) and multiple users (me and 3 sons) at multiple sites (4 houses from Virginia to Mississippi) it's WELL worth it to buy several cans of the premix at Lowes or HD AND SAVE THE CANS.
That way when you mix up a batch mix it in the can(s) and you have a FACTORY labeled can for anyone to grab, decreasing the "whoops I straight gassed it" occurrences.
We just funnel in the gas to the can and have marked measuring cups (from cough syrup) to pour in the correct amount of oil. We have not "straight gassed" one yet.
Although one son DID put diesel in a 4-cycle gas lawnmower about 12 years ago. Darn that was hard to start
