Ethanol will suck water vapor right from the air, and emulsify it easily over time. It's possible your neighbor keeps his fuel in a dryer local 'climate' than you, and possibly he keeps it better sealed against humid air. When I keep Ethanol fuel in a gas can(rarely) I keep it in a well sealed 2Gal metal container. I also keep it fairly full, with a sealed top, and in a location where it isn't subject to a lot of direct heat or sunlight. All access between the surface of a liquid like Ethanol and the absolute humidity(not standard humidity) around it will have a significant effect on how much water vapor is drawn by the Ethanol. Rel humidity is the saturation level, and the conditions for emulsion are greatest in the highest relative humidity, but the absolute humidity determines the amount of water vapor that can be absorbed. Short answer - keep your Ethanol fuel sealed up in a dark place in a metal can for best results. |

He also mixes his own 2-cycle fuel and never has any issues, buying the cheapest oil be can get. I always buy the canned stuff for 2-cycle but I still drain it after use cuz I'm paranoid about cumming up the carb. |

I've never actually had one of my carbs getting gummed up, I've just seen so many that were that I don't want it to happen to mine. Hence the initial question about fuel shutoffs.
I guess if I install shutoffs and run them dry I shouldn't have any issues. And if the fuel sits too long in the tank, I'll drain it and put it my car. |

I started using Stable in all the gas that goes into 4 cycle engines a few years ago. I have no problem starting anything now, even after 8 months of storage. All the gas has ethanol. I do keep it in those Jerry can gas containers that have a good seal.
For 2 cycle engines I use the premixed stuff. Same thing, everything starts without a problem. YMMV

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
