    Now that you mention it the gas was bubbling when I opened the gas cap when it wouldn't hot start. Looked like a carbonated beverage.

    Never knew there was Winter and Summer grade fuels

    The one kid at our local dealer that is a true saw nut, and really knows his stuff, said the same thing...they have to tow the company line for Stihl, but he said if someone specifically asks, he steers them away from it.
    I don't miss it...the stuff stinks! (exhaust smell, not quality...well, both actually!)
