What is the recommended fuel type for Briggs & Stratton engines?
The recommended fuel type for Briggs & Stratton engines is unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. It is important to avoid using gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol (E10) as it may cause engine damage and performance issues. Additionally, using gasoline blends higher than 10% ethanol, such as E15 or E85, is strictly not recommended and can void the engine's warranty. Stabilizers are also advised to be added to the fuel when used for extended storage periods to prevent gum and varnish buildup. Consulting the engine operator's manual or contacting Briggs & Stratton directly can provide further details and guidance on fuel recommendations for specific engine models.
