Echo PowerFuel
Echo PowerFuel is a pre-mixed fuel, containing 93 octane gas and oil, that's ready-to-use right out of the
can — there is no need to measure or mix oil. It contains no ethanol, is specifically developed at a 50:1 ratio,
and is the only pre-mixed fuel that uses Echo Red Armor Oil.
Echo PowerFuel is recommended for use in all air-cooled, 2-stroke engines. It facilitates proper break-in
and helps extend the life of equipment. It stays stable and usable for up to 2 years after opening. Plus, Echo
PowerFuel even makes winter storage and maintenance easier — it is not necessary to drain the tank unless it
has remained in the tank for more than 2 years.
The Echo Red Armor Oil mix incorporated into Echo PowerFuel uses powerful detergents that quickly
remove performance-robbing carbon deposits with the first use, without sacrificing lubrication or film strength. It
also protects against future buildups. Echo Red Armor Oil is JASO FD and ISO-L-EGD rated.

STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment
With temperatures finally rising, before revving up engines, it's important to consider ethanol and how today's
ethanol-blended gasoline at the pump could potentially harm your equipment.
A recent independent consumer research publication reported that the Environmental Protection Agency is
now advising consumers against using E10 and E15 gasoline in small-engine equipment, as it could destroy the
engine. While ethanol-free fuel is produced, it's difficult to find and comes at a premium price from $5 to $8 a quart.
Considering most consumers use local gas stations to fuel their small-engine equipment, the need for education and
damage prevention is more necessary now than ever.
For those who use ethanol-blended gasoline (E10 or E15), there are new solutions on the market to protect your
engine. Fuel additives like STA-BIL Ethanol Treatment avoid damage from ethanol by preventing it from separating
from the gasoline, attracting moisture, and causing corrosion.
