Is Your Fuel Killing Your Equipment? The Hidden Danger of Ethanol

If you’ve noticed your lawnmower struggling to start, your chainsaw idling rough, or your leaf blower losing power, you aren't alone. The culprit isn’t necessarily the age of your machine—it’s the fuel sitting in your tank. Today’s ethanol-heavy gasoline supply is waging a quiet war on small engines and 2-stroke equipment.

The Hidden Danger of Ethanol Problem: Gasoline containing 10% or 15% ethanol (E10/E15) is "hygroscopic," meaning it actively attracts moisture from the air. In small engines, this leads to Phase Separation. When the water content hits a critical point, the ethanol and water bond and sink to the bottom of the tank. This creates a corrosive sludge that clogs carburetors and starves your engine of the octane it needs to run.

The Motor Purr Solution--

A bottle of Motor Purr's Fuel Stabilizer for small engines.
Protect Your Engines, Small AND Large

Our proprietary Gas & Diesel Fuel Injector Cleaner is engineered specifically to combat these modern fuel failures. Unlike generic additives, our formula focuses on three pillars of engine health:

Advanced Solvents: Dissolve the gums and varnishes left behind by degrading ethanol before they can clog your fuel lines.

Combustibility: Optimizes the burn rate to ensure even, powerful strokes, even in high-compression 2-stroke engines.

Stability: Prevents fuel oxidation and moisture absorption, making it the ideal choice for long-term storage during the off-season.

Small engines run hotter and have tighter tolerances than car engines. They require a higher level of protection to prevent the drying and cracking of rubber seals and gaskets caused by ethanol exposure. One treatment of Motor Purr ensures your equipment is ready to work when you are— no more endless cord-pulling or expensive trips to the repair shop.

Don't let "cheap" gas lead to expensive repairs. Give your equipment the stability it deserves.

Keep 'em purring,
