Safe To Use ?

[jmurray01]

I have a bottle of fuel additive in my shed, that says it improves performance, cleans carburetors, and increases fuel economy.

Would it be safe to add a tiny drop of that into the fuel whenever I fill it up to keep the carburetor clean ? Or would it react badly in the lawn mower engine ?

It is a 100CC 2.6HP engine.

Odds are, you can add a tiny drop of fuel additive, or cat pee, or moose vomit, or sulfuric acid, or even liquid nitro to your fuel tank with no harm, because it will be diluted by the gasoline. Yes, the additive WILL increase mileage, because it extends the amount of gasoline you have. Check the label, there should be a certain amount you can add per gallon of fuel, if you have a gas can, add it to the can in the proper ratio. I have always been skeptical of fuel additives myself, calling them "mouse milk"....

I'm a proponent of fuel additives myself. I had great luck with SeaFoam, for instance. Just follow the recommended mixing ratio, and I think you'll be fine.:thumbsup:

They are very safe to use. But if I were you I would add a lot more than a drop. Just dump a little bit in there and it might clean things up. Weather those fuel additives really do anything, well thats a bit questionable. But no it won't hurt the engine one bit.

OP's mower is practically new, he babies it so much, no way would it have anything to be cleaned up.

besides that, it was never mentioned how old that additive was or if it was even meant for mower engines.maybe it doesn't matter,but i would use new stuff and made for mower use.

Ya got me there, but since OP has a cat, that would be EZ (thats EASY for you, JM) :laughing: to obtain, but the moose vomit....well, maybe Bison, who lives in Canada, could come up with a sample.

I don't want to be around either of those sampling programs...has anyone actually gotten that close to a drunk moose?
