Fueling - Stihl TS 700 Instruction Manual

11 Fueling

Gasoline with an ethanol content of more than
10% can cause running problems in engines with
a manually adjustable carburetor and should not
be used in such engines.
Engines equipped with M-Tronic deliver full
power when run on gasoline with an ethanol con‐
tent of up to 25% (E25).
10.2.2 Engine Oil
If you mix the fuel yourself, use only STIHL two-
stroke engine oil or another high-performance
engine oil in accordance with JASO FB, JASO
FC, JASO FD, ISO-L-EGB, ISO-L-EGC or ISO-L-
EGD.
STIHL specifies STIHL HP Ultra two-stroke
engine oil or an equivalent high-performance
engine oil in order to maintain emission limits
over the machine's service life.
10.2.3 Mix Ratio
STIHL 50:1 two-stroke engine oil: 50 parts gaso‐
line to 1 part oil

► Use a canister approved for storing fuel. Pour
oil into canister first, then add gasoline and
mix thoroughly.
10.3 Storing Fuel
Store fuel only in approved safety-type fuel can‐
isters in a dry, cool and safe location protected
from light and the sun.
Fuel mix ages – only mix sufficient fuel for a few
weeks work. Do not store fuel mix for longer than
30 days. Exposure to light, the sun, low or high
temperatures can quickly make the fuel mix
unusable.
STIHL MotoMix may be stored for up to 2 years
without any problems.
► Thoroughly shake the mixture in the canister
before fueling your machine.
