It was weird .... my yard truck started acting up. Would not run well at all. After hours of troubleshooting outdoors with the wind chill at -15 i finally tracked it down to the fuel. It runs well on fresh gas from station A and barely runs on fresh gas from station B. It shouldn't make any difference but it does.

It's something to watch for. If you're going to have fuel problems this is the time of year you'll run into them. You have to be extra careful with your small engines like chain saws & snow blowers because bad gas will destroy the piston/cylinder assembly.

Ahh well .... better days are coming. Another 30 - 45 days and we will be through the worst of it. It's not far off.
Blower on the heater in my truck has been working for a day or 2 then not working for a couple days so I'm dreaming of warmer days lol. I've experienced the same thing with gas from 2 different stations I go to too. Quit going to the one for gas after realizing their gas was the issue
