Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Are there any fuel stations around Boston offering 95? I found only 93 so far.
I bought a new streetfighter and the manual recommends 95octane fuel.

Warning
Use low-lead fuel with 95 octane rating at origin
minimum (see “Top-ups” table, page 109).
Be sure there is no fuel trapped in the filler recess.
Page#109-
TOP-UPS: Fuel tank, including a reserve of 2 cu dm (litres)
TYPE: Unleaded fuel with 95 fuel octane rating (at least)
I have been using 93 as thats what I could find,
what are other ducati riders using???

That measurement of 95 is likley not using the RON+MON/2 (or AKI) method that is used in the states. I'm guessing that is 95 RON (research octane number), which roughly equals 91 here in the states. It's very strange to not be specific about the number given, considering there are 3 different ways to report octane numbers.

i checked a few ducati owners manuals. in the technical data section under "fuel system" they list...
Quote:
Fuel supply: 95-98 RON
...which equates to 91-93 AKI. AKI is what US and CA pumps are labeled, and is calculated as (R+M)/2.
Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
hmm, its a 2011 duc streetfighter.
Yeah, theres no mention of anything else apart from what i posted here in owner's manual.
@Drop....lemme check.

surprisingly, my chainsaw is the one thing I have never had an ethanol fuel problem with, and sometimes the fuel sets for some time, I keep a 7 gallon container of premium that is stabilize with marine stabil on hand for my small equipment use that to mix 50:1 with premeasured bottles one gallon at a time
If you are really concerned about the best fuel for your saw, Bailey's Logging Supply sells premixed 50:1 and 40:1 made by VP

Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Most OPE dealers, Lowes and HD sell 32 ounce cans for around $6. That's fine for the chainsaw and small outboard but the 15 hp is thirstier.
Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Interesting. Last summer I rebuilt a 2-stroke Husky line trimmer. The fuel line and ever seal in that thing was half eaten. I had to replace everything. I assumed it was the ethanol. The replacement bits the dealer sold me were of a noticeably different material. Particularly the fuel line.
Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Anyone go to Hampton NH airport? Website says they are open 8am to dusk. Apparently you can only pump into a can, not a vehicle, and the price was listed as $4.95 per gallon for 93.
Hampton Airfield Inc.
9A Lafayette Road
US route 1 North Hampton, NH, 03862
Phone: 603-964-6749
Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Ethanol and some other additives are only added into the tanker as it leaves the distribution center.... nobody wants ethanol in their storage tanks or pipelines...

Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Stopped by Hampton Airfield. It's right off Rt 1. Pump is self serve (pay by credit card) and $4.95 per gallon. You can park about 30' away.
Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Cool
The guy at Willimantic, ct said it was illegal to pump in anything but a plane
Maybe CT thing,,, You would think Marinas would be pure gas
Re: Non-ethanol gas -- what stations have it?
Pure-Gas says the Haffners in Nashua NH has ethanol free?

The Haffners in Hudson, NH, does have ethanol-free, but it's 100 octane, for about $10 a gallon.
