Winter is approaching
Now is the time to winterize outdoor power equipment to avoid the negative effects of ethanol-blended fuels. Ethanol attracts water and separates (phase separation) in fuel to create a corrosive mixture that settles on the bottom of fuel tanks. Over time, this mixture can corrode metal and deteriorate plastic and rubber fuel system components. B3C Fuel Solutions offers products that combat ethanol problems in 2- or 4-cycle engines. Ethanol Shield, a year-round fuel stabilizer, removes water, prevents corrosion, provides easy starting all year, and keeps stored fuel fresh. Mechanic In A Bottle (MIB), a synthetic fuel additive to "fix" poor- or non-running engines, removes varnish/carbon deposits/water and revitalizes old fuel. B3C Fuel Solutions
Kongsberg KAntrak 1700
The compact size of the Kongsberg KAntrak 1700 display makes it ideally suited for use on low power vehicles and equip- ment with limited dashboard space, such as small construction machines, commercial riding mowers, and generators. The KAntrak 1700 displays critical engine features and engine faults or diagnostic trouble codes in just 1 display unit, replacing several analogue gauges. Designed for easy installation in a typical 2-inch gauge hole, the 1700 model comes complete with a threaded locking ring to secure the display in place, eliminating cumbersome and costly installation processes.
