•Marked Mid-grade Gasoline (89 octane) and Diesel will not contain ethanol
You'd have to check in BC but here in Ontario premium grade Shell & Esso fuel is 100% non-ethanol and is what I always used in my EU2000i gensets, eliminating any concern over gumming caused by ethanol. What really made a difference in performance was replacing the dino oil in the crankcase with Mobil 1 synth - with the former, successfully starting a 13.5K BTU A/C with the genset was iffy even near sea level, with synth success under the same conditions was guaranteed. :B
