Will running standard ethanol fuel void the warranty?

Great question but not really sure. Would be a great question for Husqvarna. I've been told that with ethanol added in gasoline, it tends to degrade the fuel lines, over time, in these types of equipment. I had that experience in a Mastercraft leaf blower. Sorry, not much help..best of luck!

Suggest using Marine grade sta-bil with a little sea formin it if using gas with ethanol in it. I've had alot of trouble with this type fuel for my lawn mowers and other yard equipment. The Marine sta-bil and sea form has done the trick and eliminated the problems.

No it does not. I asked my dealer the same question. They told me the only thing that would void a warranty is internal changes. I have a K & cold air, throttle body spacer and an edge programmer on my 2011 silverado. No issues with the dealership.

In my small town we have no stations with ethanol free gasoline. My nearby Briggs & Stratton man advised fresh start plus if I were buying local - but because it is so good, use it with all gasoline. No expensive service work in 2 years!

Sam this Briggs & Stratton engine manual says to use unleaded gas with no more than 10% ethanol. Never use E-85 blend. If you can find ethanol-free gas it should run fine (if not better).

Yes, that's all I put it in. The manual says to use gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol or you'll ruin the engine. I put pure premium gas (NO ETHANOL), like I do in all my vehicles. The farmers can stick their corn you know where, ethanol ruins gasoline powered machines and they know it, yet they keep trying to shove this "alternative" gasoline down our throats. Use premium and make sure there's no ethanol added to it.

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

We have used this pump for many liquids, including ethanol. Previously we used a snowmobile fuel pump which did not survive the ethanol. We've used this one for over a year with no noticeable corrosion. For the price, we would just replace it if it fails.

The one I got said it did in the description. I live in California were we have all kinds of stuff in our fuel. The one I got is working fine, the one that came stock on the truck was not made for ethanol and I think that was why it and so many other ranger fuel hoses fail.

Not that I am aware of. I have been using Shell 87 octane without problems. The gas pumps have signs that say the gas could be up to 10% ethanol. I have never used the E85 stuff in anything nor purchased any for that matter.

Warranty. I have no idea. No problems with saw yet. However, from looking at it, the local small tool fixer should be able to repair it. Local guy sold me a chain with no problem. I only use saw a couple times monthly for small jobs. Still starts good and runs strong. Oh yes. In my small engines I find that a local gas station that sells, cane or corn juice free, gasoline works better. Wee fuel pumps seem to flutter better. Remember, use both hands on the little Tanaka. It can eat you alive if you get careless.

My owners manual recommends that you run the tank empty. It also recommends that if you must store the unit with gas in it, that you make sure you do two things. Always treat your gasoline with some quality fuel stabilizer, like STAR TRON and that you turn off the the gas line valve, and let it continue to run until it shuts off. That will keep your carb and parts from the effects of ethanol fuels. You could get a siphon like used with a kerosene heater and reverse siphon the gas out of the tank into a gas can.

I don't know whether there is a warranty. I installed it on my 1600 single port, followed the tuning instructions, and it works fine. By the way, I don't recommend trying to use this carburetor with Bosch 009 distributor. The carb was not designed for use with a purely mechanical-advance distributor -- Jack H.

No it doesn't Void the warranty. But if something happens to the engine they have to prove that its the fault of the mod.

That would be the best if you can get it. If not, use the highest octane of ethanol gas.

The warranty is good at any Husqvarna Licensed Service Center. The fuel and the chainsaw need to be on the same invoice. Please contact us if you have any further questions about this promotion.

Without ethanol is best but fewer places sell non-ethanol gas. The biggest problem is letting the gas sit for a long period of time, ethanol will gum up and cause a problem. As long as you shut the fuel off and let the genrator die from gas starvation you shouldnt have any problems with either.
