Just unhook your fuel hose from the engine and let the tank drain.

buy this, fill the gas tank, pour 1oz in, top off the oil, run the engine for 10-15 min so it gets in the carburetor and everything, and done. no need to drain the tank or run the mower forever

Whatever kind of engine you have on your future snowblower / lawn care / dad tools, don't put ethanol gas in it.

Easier said than done.

Nearest non-ethanol gas station is about 90 miles away. But as long as the fuel is actually burned in a reasonable amount of time, isn't exposed to humidity/moisture, and is drained out of the carb and fuel tank for the off-season, you should be fine. Problems develop when you have an old machine that uses gaskets that dissolve in alcohol, or if your carb is made of the wrong materials (zinc), or has scratches or is just worn enough for the zinc's protective coatings to have worn through.

E-10's problems are basically that it's hydrophilic: it attracts moisture from the air more rapidly than gasoline. Then phase separation occurs (again, much faster than gas), where the water collects at the bottom of the tank. Steel tank? Brace yourself for rust and all the problems that come from a loving gas tank rusting from the inside out. A nice slug of water into a running engine...well, that causes all kinds of fun problems. In a vehicle that can end up ventilating an engine block through the side if the rpms are up enough. The other problem is through the fuel system itself. Old rubber (fuel lines, gaskets, o-rings) simply wasn't designed for alcohol. And a lot of rubber fuel line (stuff you can buy in bulk anywhere) is still the old standard (I can't remember the codes) which won't last under E-10. There IS a new material that's also available, but if you're replacing a fuel line you want to make sure you're getting the right one. Also carbs are usually made of a zinc-aluminum alloy that's chemically reactive to ethanol. And other things, too...that's why they were treated with some kind of coating, akin to anodizing aluminum, but not the same process. If the outer layer is damaged or worn away, you're in for a bad time. The next big problem is heat. Some of the ethanol additives evaporate faster and boil at a much lower temperature than gasoline, so you can end up with a variety of issues: vapor lock, percolation of fuel inside a carburetor or fuel line as it sits next to a hot engine, or overpressurization of a fuel tank if it gets hot enough (110* driving through Kansas is hot enough, turns out). Then there's the whole "it contains less energy than gasoline" issue, and how it's a horrible loving waste of money as a fuel, partially because we make it out of corn which is almost the worst cash crop possible for it (Brazil uses sugar cane, which is far more efficient and cheaper). But hey, it's a slight reduction in emissions, so gently caress every car made prior to the mid 90s, gently caress boats, gently caress your small engines. CORN.

Yea, 90 miles is a crazy drive and not worth it for regular uncorned gas.

If you can get it, use it, otherwise yeah, don't let it sit in your tanks. If any of your engine guts are old and used to real gas the ethanol go juice is probably going to poo poo them up.

I can't believe they are still doing the ethanol in gasoline thing. It's not like it magically makes the gasoline burn cleaner. There's just less gasoline to burn.

That's fine for all two stroke things. I've got a broken generator that had a little bit of gas left in the tank and it rusted the gently caress out of it.

I would hate the ethanol bullshit less if it was made from crops nobody gives a poo poo about on land that can't grow anything else. Looking at you switchgrass. At this point it's just one more bullshit excuse to shovel money into a billionaire's pockets because he paid his membership dues to the corn lobbyists.

Getting fitted for an N95? As long as it's neatly trimmed a beard shouldn't necessarily be a problem at all unless they're giving you poo poo about the N95 vs I forget what the gently caress other poo poo you can use with a beard for an iso mask.
I start EMT training with clinical rotations at the end of the month, and I didn't really want to think about the grossness that could get stuck in there carrying patients around. Also, I have an interview next week for a job with the state that I really, really want, and I decided that clean-shaven & fresh haircut was the best look to go in with, especially given how crinkly my facial hair gets.

We had a ton of dudes with porn 'staches or vet beards *one was actually a vet so it was a legit manly beard* when I worked 911 EMS. You should never ever have to worry about poo poo getting in your beard/face unless the patient is crazy throwing his poo poo around or vomiting like the Exorcist. Even then, patients are pretty helpful at telling you when they're gonna vomit, which you should learn how to side step and grab an emesis basin/bag to them to puke their guts out.

The only time that I legitimately had vomit coming straight towards my face was a dude who drunk as gently caress that we were getting prepped to tube, and after throwing an oral airway into him, my partner did a pretty vigorous sternal rub, which I guess was the right combination of stimulation to get half digested taco's and rum spewing like Tubgirl. Didn't hit my face but covered my EMS pants. Made throwing a tube/sedating him a bit of a nicer feeling.

I really miss my time as an EMT, even more than I do time spent in the military. I actually felt like I was helping people doing 911 calls (god knows something had to keep me doing the job because it wasn't the mother loving pay) while every day of Army time was basically a complete waste and just another tally mark towards getting the gently caress out. I probably won't ever get to do it again though because my back is too hosed up to be lifting patients that often anymore and that actually makes me kinda sad. When I stopped doing EMT to go into the Army I thought for years I'd go back and do it once I graduated from the GI Bill.
