I'd try >it on a Briggs and Stratton first. When I was growing up (a long time ago) we bought white gas for our small engines. Lawn mowers, compressors, generators, pumps, they all ran longer on white gas than on regular (leaded) gas. We'd never use it in cars or trucks, because it just didn't have the additives (like detergents, for example) that car engines wanted even back then. -- Bill Funk Replace "g" with "a" funktionality.blogspot.com
