If you want to get technical, 400 hours divided by 24 hours is a little over 16 days. (based on the way you responded). All of the additives I know certainly would make the gas last 400 hours. The sky isn't falling now, it seems it already has. Better read the manufactures site again to make sure you don't run into problems..
My glasses are just fine.

Check out Kohler FAQ's (https://power.kohler.com/na-en/engines/faqs). Questions #2 and #3 deal with fuel recommendations. Question #7 deals with fuel additives. Suggest you take off your glasses that have blinders on them and read Kohler's FAQs that deals with fuel and fuel additives.

Gas with 10% works great for me in all my small engines. E85 fuel works great in my pickup truck plus it is $.95 a gallon cheaper. Why do I want to pay $6.00 a quart ($24 a gallon) for fuel when $2.64 a gallon fuel works? Same goes for non ethanol gas. It cost more per gallon.

Worth repeating this again.....The majority of the fuel issues I see and hear about goes back to poor fuel storage habits.

Must be time for another ethanol haters meeting
