How many gas engines do you maintain?
Permalink  

I always try to keep a good stock of gas and oil around, but it seems everytime I go to the cans....they are empty. I made a little list of where it may be going and was surprised at how many gas engines that I keep going. (a car lot full of cars for sale doesnt count).  I would think anything over 10 is excessive, but we probably average higher than the 'normal' population.

1. weedwacker
2. chainsaw
3. woodsplitter
4. lawnmower
5. ride-on mower
6. pocket bike
7. 650 dual purpose bike
8. 250 dirtbike
9. 125 dirtbike
10 500 quad
11 Van
12 Car
13 Car
14 Car
15 Car
16 generator
17 pressure washer

i hear ya.....the bikes belong to my boys, but they dont buy gas or oil when there is free stuff in the shed. I even found one of their friends 'topping up' one day when the boys werent even home......even worse is coming home to tools left on the lawn where they were working on their bikes. (I tolerate it because I recall doing the same things when I was young, but never realized that I was pissing someone off).

I own a small business, that accounts for about 10 right there, also 4 or 5 personal use small engines. Then the Cobalt, the Chevy pickup 305, the Savana van 5.3 litre, the 1953 chevy panel truck 261 cid, the SS396 chevelle and the beaumont 454LS6.
Had to get more fuel stabilizer.
