Interesting product TRUFUEL. NF

[misfish]

Thought I would share this.

I was talking to a fellow worker yesterday about gas stations having a premix pump for boats and what not. I thought this would a great addition to a station. Would save having to have gas cans and oils lying around the garage.. Messy stuff. Then he tells me about this product that is premixed in a can , Trufuel. I was like . He,s been using it for awhile now for when he just need enough for his chain saw. I was thinking this is pretty cool. So today I bought a can to use in my chain saw. I only have a 16" Stihl and it sips, also, living in a condo, I do not need a gerry can sitting around stinking up the joint. So I filled up the saw and man, this stuff fired it right up. For my needs once or twice a year, and for $9 for a liter can, it,s worth it to me. They have 50-1 and 40-1 and 4 stroke.

I've been using this stuff in my gas auger for years, it's great ?

[Acountdeleted]

It’s super great. We use that as well as the STHIL pre-mix. If you use it the warentee is still valid. Only thing is it’s expensive. $10 a litre. I think i’d Rather do my own mixing.

I doubt my auger even uses a whole can per season so $10 a liter is not really an issue for me.

So the four stroke is just gasoline.  Or, by the sounds of it, gasoline with stabilizer added.

YA YA YA.

You missed the point of CONDO living.

[Terry]

Keep it in the truck

or buy a liter of gas, mix, use it and pour the little bit left into your truck and save 7 bucks

[grimsbylander]

LOL I'm with Terry on this...I'm waaaay too cheap to spend that much on convenience. haha

I'm with you. I live in an apartment. A can lasts me all season and this stuff never goes bad. Its also not just premixed gas. It's better and cleaner. It won't gum up carbs. I can understand not wanting the cost if you're using liters per trip but it's perfect for me.

A quarter liter of mixed isn’t going to do anything to 80 liters in your truck but give it to a homeless person on the street if it scares you.

Yup---If lived in a condo I'd do the same! Different strokes for different folks!!

Who's scared? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I'm talking about the convenience factor....

[Terry]

I do understand.  I’m just chea.... thrifty.  LOl. 

[aplumma]

The safe to store in a condo makes me wonder. The product is 99% gasoline with the additives used in Sta-bil Marine 360 makes it good for 2 years of storage. The only difference on the product is it is in a metal can that is resealable which will keep it from releasing vapors into a living space. It is just as flammable as gas that comes from the gas station. The metal gas cans that are rated for gasoline will provide the same ease of storage as the metal tru fuel can does. So the next time you empty the tru fuel bottle use sta bil,quality 2 stroke oil and your favorite non ethanol or ethanol fuel with the sta bil product and you will have the same product much cheaper.

I have way too many 2 strokes that run 50:1 to pay $10/litre. I keep a 20l jerry can mixed all the time.  Boat has its own tank that's also 50:1. 

 

And what is with this site lately! Frig.....every time I try to reply I get 5  words typed and get booted off. Its frustrating and has been happening for a long time.  Does anyone else get that?? Geeeeze....
