Available in a convenient, ready-to-use solution, this fuel blend requires no mixing, resulting in less hassle. Its quality-engi- neered ingredients include synthetic oil and fuel stabilizer, which work togeth- er to reduce carburetor corrosion, as well as gum and varnish build-up and ultimately help reduce costly repairs. It is available in 40:1 and 50:1 ratios for 2-cycle engines such as chain saws and string trimmers, as well as in 4-cycle fuel for equipment such as lawn mowers and pressure washers. Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Ethanol-free Fuel stays fresh for up to 2 years after opening, and it can be used for in-season or postseason (storage) purposes. Briggs & Stratton Corp. Echo Inc. expands Red Armor brand into pre-mixed fuel Echo is now marketing its pre- mixed fuel under the Red Armor name to bring stronger focus to its crucial ingredient — Echo Red Armor Oil. Now available at independent dealers, Red Armor Fuel is the only pre-mixed fuel for 2-stroke engines that uses Echo's exclusive Red Armor Oil mix. The proprietary oil blend cleans existing deposits, protects against future carbon buildup, and helps to promote longer engine life. Echo Red Armor Oil carries the highest JASO FD and ISO-L-EGD ratings. Marketed under the tag line "Performance Above All," Echo Red Armor Fuel delivers peak performance for any 2-cycle, high-rpm engine. The exclusive formula promotes easier starting using the highest-quality 93 octane gasoline. The major benefit of an ethanol- free fuel blend is it's ready to use right out of the can, requiring no measuring or mixing. Red Armor Fuel stays stable and usable for up to 2 years after opening, and consumers don't need to worry about fuel/water separation. The exclusive Red Armor oil component helps prevent engine corrosion caused by moisture. This makes winter storage and maintenance easier; no stale fuel means it is not necessary to drain the tank unless the fuel has remained in the tank for more than 2 years. Red Armor Fuel is available in 4 container sizes: 13, 32 and 110 fluid ounces, as well as 4.75 gallons. Echo Inc. Oils from efco Two-cycle oil and bar & chain oil are available from efco. Designed for maximum engine protection and easy starting, efco 2-cycle oil features outstanding lubricity to maximize engine life. Plus, the semisynthetic, smokeless 2-cycle oil exceeds JASO FD rating standards. The bar & chain oil is specifically formulated to optimize cutting with any chain saw. Available in quarts and gallons, it works well in both extreme hot and cold conditions while containing additives that reduce heat and prevent premature bar wear. Both efco oils are universal and can be used with other brands. efco/Comet USA STA-BIL 360˚ Performance Small Engine Formula The STA-BIL 360° Small Engine Formula is a non-alcohol, high-quality fuel stabilizer designed to support consumers seeking ultimate performance with their power and small-engine equipment. STA-BIL scientists developed this product to help restore power, maximize fuel economy, prevent ethanol damage, clean the fuel system, and provide a smooth idle. The proprietary 360° technology also prevents corrosion above the fuel line by releasing a vapor that coats all metal parts of the fuel system, including the fuel tank, fuel sending unit, valves, carburetor, and fuel injectors with a microscopically thin corrosion preventing shield. And like all STA-BIL brand products, the enhanced formulas stabilize fuel for up to 1 year. STA-BIL 360° products are safe and recommended for use in all types of gasoline and are recommended for use at every fill-up for ultimate year-round protection. Gold Eagle Co. Honda V-Twin Engine Series The Honda V-Twin Engine Series is the most powerful ever offered by Honda and brings value, fuel efficiency, emissions performance, versatility and quiet operation to the marketplace. Featuring 6 models, the V-Twin engine line offers customers more power, versatility and greater fuel economy in a more compact package. The GX630, GX660, GX690, GXV630, GXV660 and GXV690 engines are available in both horizontal- and vertical-shaft configurations for a greater range of utility and cover a wide range of demanding commercial, rental and turf applications. The V-Twin engine models have been designed to offer more power, high fuel economy, low noise, low vibration and low exhaust emissions without the use of a catalyst. The V-Twin is an ideal fit for an increased number of potential applications that require more power, yet dictate a smaller-sized engine due to product configuration. Potential applications for the V-Twin series of engines include utility vehicles, zero-turn-radius mowers, garden tractors, trenchers, stump grinders, chippers/shredders, concrete saws, vibratory rollers, ride-on cement trowels, commercial generators, and pressure washers. The V-Twin features a cutting-edge style that looks different from other engines and — in concert with the 36-blade, low-noise, resin cooling fan — improves cooling efficiencies. Under the multi-faceted styling are technologically advanced features contributing to the high efficiency, low noise and low vibration. Honda Engines
