Hello
I purchased a Cub Cadet Mower here in Northern Ohio in 2003 , was told by
dealer that I shouldn't use gas with ALCOHOL , been having a little erratic
run problem lately , looks like most of the Stations east of Cleveland are
selling Gas with 10% Alcohol , also have a generator and would like to see
it running after the next storm , any thoughts would be appreciated .
Thanks
Phil L.

I wouldn't worry about it. Ethanol is required in many (most?) parts of
the U.S. It is not really good for engines but it's not all that bad for
them either. If you have a choice use pure gas but you probably don't
have a choice.

Agreed. But, with ethanol, it's more critical that it not be left in over
the winter, or for long periods. The alcohol draws moisture and the gas is
more apt to go bad.
