Fuel

Diesel fuels and alternative fuels, such as E-15 (15% ethanol),
E -85 (85% ethanol) or any fuels not meeting ECHO
requirements are NOT approved for use in ECHO 2-stroke
gasoline engines. Use of diesel or alternative fuels may cause
performance problems, loss of power, overheating, fuel vapor
lock, and unintended machine operation, including, but not
limited to, improper clutch engagement. Diesel or alternative
fuels may also cause premature deterioration of fuel lines,
gaskets, carburetors and other engine components.
Fuel Requirements
Gasoline - Use 89 Octane [R+M/2] (mid grade or higher) gasoline known to
be good quality. Gasoline may contain up to 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) or
15% MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether). Gasoline containing methanol
(wood alcohol) is NOT approved. Use of ECHO branded fuel is
recommended to extend engine life in all air-cooled 2-stroke and 2/4-stroke
hybrid engines.
Two Stroke Oil - A two-stroke engine oil, such as ECHO branded 2-stroke
oils, meeting ISO-L-EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. FD Standards must
be used. ECHO branded 2-stroke oils meet these standards. Engine
problems due to inadequate lubrication caused by failure to use an ISO-L-
EGD (ISO/CD 13738) and J.A.S.O. M345-FD certified oil will void the two-
stroke engine warranty.
