Ethanol harms rubber, plastic, and your equipment’s fuel system

Ethanol-blended gasoline can damage plastic and rubber fuel system components — particularly in older power equipment not designed to tolerate ethanol. Brittle bowl gaskets, stiff carburetor diaphragms, cracked fuel lines — all common results of ethanol exposure.

What you can do

• Use Ethanol Shield fuel stabilizer to protect fuel system components
• Use Mechanic in a Bottle to treat existing ethanol damage
• Never leave fuel in equipment for extended storage without stabilizer
• Use ethanol-free fuel (E0) when available
