OK, so my research suggests that any ethanol content pushes the likelyhood of fuel going bad through oxidation.

These days only Esso Supreme 99+ in most of the UK has no ethanol in it so I am going to switch the classics over to this and see if it improves the situation.

I understand that the USA has more ethanol in regular gas station fuel so if I were you I would look around for a gas station that has E0 fuel or E5 from Shell or Esso - or left field go to a race track that sells fuel for racing - that is likely ethanol free and even leaded fuel of 100 octane. For occasional use in garden machinery that should be great and long lasting
