my garage burned down last November when the 10 yr old premium gas in my 66 olympic spilled on the floor. who would have thought that 10 yr old fuel would still be flammable. it was. thats why I use premium in my small engines.

I buy 8 jerry cans of premium at a time from Costco (no ethanol) and it is around $1.09 or less. Considerably cheaper than the marked premium in BC. Never a problem even in the plastic jugs but saying that, I don't let it sit for long.


didn't konw Costco was E free. good to know, who makes there fuel?

Kinda sounds like you need to empty out your old gas tanks first
