Thread: which 50-60cc Stihl chainsaw

Have noticed the dye colour fading in older fuel but it is usually very old fuel so petrol has gone of anyway. We don’t take any risk. Dump fuel, at a cost of $3+ per litre, and refill with fresh stuff. We have to be mindful that it doesn’t take too much w/shop time for repair cost to be worth more than saw is worth in some cases.
If the fuel has been mixed for a month use it in your lawn mower, safer that way especially for the bigger saws. I know people use older fuel but personally I replace after about a month on my 4x saws. I hate the prospect of working on my own gear unnecessarily.
