I use aviation fuel in mine, as it is the only leaded gas I can find.
I also add a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil just cuz.

I don't need a tail number. Our "airport guy" is a military vehicle nut. He likes them, but doesn't have any. I just pull up to the pump and "fill 'er up".
However, I did just about croak, when I filled the MB and a couple of cans for the Mule. The price was . . . ummmm . . . very much. I bought a new pole saw for what the fuel bill was.

Ethanol free. Avgas, Mogas, white gas. Unleaded is ok. Alcohol is death.
I wash the ethanol out of my gas as I can't buy ethanol free in my county and it is a 100 mile drive to where I can.

I totally agree just ask saw shops how many carburetors they replace last year.

Even when I buy alcohol free gas I still put the additive that neutralizes the alcohol as the integrity of gas stations are unknown, etc.
