Terrible poison for lawnmowers, chainsaws, and small engines in general. E15 probably voids the warranty on most small engines.

With a little chemistry knowledge, there is NO need to put any ethanol in small engines, and at a price no more than regular auto gas.

Just note that ethanol doesn’t bind with with gasoline. In fact, it has a much higher affinity for water.

Using that knowledge, get a clear container - I use a 5 gallon jug from Walmart, with a cap. Pour about 2-3 gallons of gas in the jug... and then pour about a liter of REGULAR WATER in.

Mix well. It will be mixed and cloudy.

Wait about 2 days, and the water separates from the gasoline, WITH the ethanol! Siphon out the water/ethanol.

You’re left with a good quantity of ethanol-free gasoline!

This tells you how to take ethanol from petrol. Yes it will cost money because you lose 15% of your fuel but it’s better than buying a new lawnmower.

With inflation the way it is I don’t want to even look at the price of a new mower.
