The description mentions oil and lubricants, but not specifically gasoline. Will this work with gasoline (on a snow blower and lawn mower)?

Mine has not held up very well just using it to take water out of a birdbath. Personally I wouldn't use it for any oil, lubricants or gas. Years ago I had one that looked the same that was used for kerosene but it was much better quality and it worked great. This one is pretty flimsy.

No it will not work. Gasoline is a liquid. LPG is a gas that is through pressure condensed into a liquid, when pressure is reduced it reverts to it's default state.

I use it on propane but it should work with natural gas as well.. FYI it works well!

The blower takes regular (87 octane) gasoline (ethanol is OK) and 2 cycle oil. Instructions for mixing the oil/gas are included with the blower.

I've never tried this electric snow blower on the grass. Looks like it might work if you carefully police the area to be cut to make sure it's free of anything (sticks, twigs, rocks, etc.) which could get jammed between the rotating blade and housing and destroy the electric motor (I'm not seeing a shear pin like my larger gas power snow blower) to protect transmission in case of jam. For this reason, I strongly recommend that you use it for snow for which it was designed. Might make a call to Toro and inquire. :~)

Yes, use regular gasoline and always check the oil level of the generator before you start it.

I don't think it would work with oil. The instructions say to use with gasoline only. Not intended for use with diesel. So if you couldn't pump diesel, then I would think oil is out of the question. Just my .02

My husband put it on the snow blower. He has no problem with 10% ethanol fuel, but he has not experience anything with 15% ethanol fuel. Hope this helps you. Mary B

It's not recommend . I was told by the company to use an Ethanol treatment in the gas. This generator you do not mix oil in the gas . That means it needs oil put in it .

I have never came across this issue. However I just used synthetic oil in my engine so I guess I will find out.However oil is oil. This does all liquids and I have used it on my lawnmower ride on and boat and Golf Cart. Which I switched over to synthetic.

NO NO NO NO NO!!!! If your still with us and reading this. DO NOT USE THIS FOR ANYTHING BUT WATER!!!! If this pump is exposed to gasoline vapors you will not be with us. This motor has brushes and creates exposed arcs or sparking. If you need to pump gasoline, acquire a pump especially designed for that purpose. Again: DO NOT USE THIS FOR GASOLINE!!!!!

My husband stated that it is gas only. He has been using the snow blower since last year and it's running great

Add to your gasoline and it will add octane for any machine. I use it for my stihls! Works great in all my power equipment. Had no I'll effects. Tom

Engine oil must be added BEFORE using the mower. Then use unleaded gasoline. It is not necessary to add 2-strke oil to the gasoline since the engine oil lubricates all moving engine parts.

yes, it will work fine with synthetic fluids. Do not use this extractor for fuels.

If its oil injection it will work fine since the pump regulates the oil amount delivered to the fuel. This oils has 24:1 to 10o:1 mix ratio.

I have never used it on gasoline and not much luck on surfaces that had oil under any pressure as it will start to leak eventually.
