I use ethanol free gas and use ethanol treatment in the gas for my snowblower, lawn tractor and push mower. Every year I top off the gas for everything for storage and every year they all turn on with no problems on the first attempt. It's been 6 years so far doing this and it's worked great. 10 years for the push mower too, it turns right on at the first pull every year.

Drain it all out and run the engine until she dies. Even though I use ethanol-free fuel, I still do this.

The Snow Thrower gets its gasoline with Octane Booster and SeaFoam(Stabilizes Fuel & Cleans Fuel System). The remaining gasoline gets placed in the gas can for the Lawnmower. That gets the SeaFoam (as reason as before)

Run it dry. Press the primer bulb when it starts to run out if gas. It clears out that line.

simple as drain down, run carb dry with Walmart brand seafoam keeps gas good and you can add more . works great but run carb dry. next yr gas is still good add more. the premix 2 cyc. just add motor treat and still use up to ten years later . but refresh it.works good nobody believes me. basically seafoam but great value version . great fuel stabilizer....... all you need. I use premix cans for weed whips only. I went through so many weed whips. thanks for listing and good luck.

I've done it both ways, but for me, my best success has been ethanol free gas with stabilizer left in tank. I will then start any engine not regularly used once a month to keep fuel cycling through the carb periodically. If stored for longer than a year I would run it out of gas before storing.

The way this winter and spring has been, drain from snowblower, move to lawnmower, then refill snowblower and drain back to main gas can. Rinse and repeat until May or whenever winter decides it’s over.

Add stabilizer, run it for 10 or 15 minutes, drain the tank, then run the carb dry. Over kill probably but no issues

I add star Tron to the non-ethanol fuel and run it for five minutes. Then I drained the tank. I have a small and a large snowblower and I haven’t even used the large one for two years. I have a plow on my side by side so I’m probably gonna sell my big snowblower.

I drain out all the TruFuel and use it in my lawnmower for the first mow of the season.

Harbor freight sells a battery-operated transfer pump that works absolutely perfect for draining small engine fuel tanks. It uses 2D batteries and will drain the quart or so of gasoline in a matter of seconds. I then run the engine a few minutes until it runs completely out of fuel. I think normally they're about $14 and seem to be on sale for about half of that quite often. Well worth the money if you have to store power equipment for the off-season.

I syphon out what I can then I turn on the machine & let it run until it burns off any leftover fuel in the tank & lines. I mainly do this because we don't have ethanol-free gas in close proximity.

I run mine empty and add 1/4 of truefuel run for 5 then shut it off and run it dry. Pull cord to TDC, Drain the carb bowl and park it.

Living in Alaska, I just leave the gas in it during the summer. Survival of the fittest.

I'll admit I don't do anything except I set the fuel shut off valve to off and let it run until the gas is out of the carb and it dies, whatever is left in the tank is what I start with the next winter. I've had it for 5 or 6 years now. It has always started each year perfectly fine. I know one year it might come back to bite me, but until it does I probably won't change my habits.

I only add enough gas to get me through an intended use. When I finish, I turn off the fuel and run the carb dry. The next time I use it I add fresh ethanol free fuel. My tank is never more than half full (small driveway & sidewalk).

I close the fuel shut off,run engine till it runs out. Then top off tank & add Stabil. Haven't had an issue

Ethanol free from a dedicated pump; use shutoff valve to burn the gas out of the carb. Can't find easy way to drain the gas from the tank of the Ariens Compact 24.

I put seafoam in the ethanol free fuel I normally use, shut the fuel supply off, and run it out of gas.

None of the above! Push it too the curb and buy a new one, it's a throw away world. Joking obviously! Run dry, change oil then service for next winter.
