Tool Fuel

[x635 4,066]

Has anyone seen or used this product? Seems to be pretty convienent?

Because of a decade of fuel related issues, ESI has always educated our customers on “fuel management”. Recently we have seen a decrease in time that fuel stays “fresh” thus leading to motors running poorly or not starting at all. This situation can be frustrating and dangerous if someone in need is depending on that piece of emergency equipment. There is nothing ESI can do to change the commercial fuel compounds so another solution was sought.

ESI located a petroleum distillate product that is specially formulated for small Fire/Rescue Service gasoline motors. This product is desirable, especially for these services, because of the following features:

- Special Blend without Ethanol

- Infinite Shelf Life

- Evaporates Clean – No Residue

- Use in 4 or 2 stroke motors

- Can be mixed with other fuels

- Eliminates Hard Starting

- Top Lube built in to Extend Life

- Eliminate Carburetor Rebuilding or Replacing

- Reduce Testing Tools to Once a Month, not every week

- Eliminates Need to have a Fuel Management Program

We have it at work and I am not a fan. It was tried out in our saws and needless to say it burns too rich, especially with them being 2-cycle engines. As for our fans and Hurst / Holmotro pumps, its working good so far. I rather stick with good old gasoline in stead of paying extra a gallon for this stuff. The octanes are too high in tool fuel for most equipment we run in the fire service.
