If you use a snowblower to clear your driveway and walkways, you may be wondering what kind of gas is the best to use in it. For a small engine that is generally only used part of the year – the coldest part – it is important to keep a few things in mind as you choose fuel for your snowblower.
Type of Engine
Does your snowblower have a 2-cycle or 4-cycle engine? It’s tough to find 2-cycle snow blowers these days, so unless you have an older machine, you probably have a 4-cycle. If you do have a 2-cycle, you’ll have to mix gas and oil in a prescribed ratio. Check your owner’s manual for the right ratio, and mix carefully. If you have a 4-cycle engine, gas is all you’ll need! (But, do be sure to change your oil about once a season.)

Fuel Recommendations
For small equipment such as snowblowers, do not use fuel with high ethanol content. Standard gas station fuel will have about 10% ethanol, which is fine, but you may have the choice to purchase E15 fuel, which has 15% ethanol. Do not use this in your small engine, as it will gum up the works and ultimately begin to corrode the engine parts. It is only recommended for specific types of vehicles. Most users find that 87 octane fuel is sufficient for a snowblower, and the more expensive higher octanes are unnecessary. If you can find gas with no added ethanol in your area, that is ideal for small engines. However, it can be tough to locate.
When to Add Stabilizer
If you often have long periods of time between snow blower uses, you’ll want to add some fuel stabilizer to your fuel tank. This will keep water from building up in your tank and minimize the impact of the ethanol in your fuel.
This machine is intended to be used by residential homeowners. It is designed primarily for removing snow from paved surfaces, such as driveways and sidewalks, and other surfaces for traffic on residential or commercial properties. It is not designed for removing materials other than snow.

Snow Blower Gas Mix Ratio
Important: If you are using this machine above 1500 m (5,000 ft) for a continuous period, ensure that the High Altitude Kit has been installed so that the engine meets CARB/EPA emission regulations. The High Altitude Kit increases engine performance while preventing spark-plug fouling, hard starting, and increased emissions. Once you have installed the kit, attach the high-altitude label next to the serial decal on the machine. Contact any Authorized Toro Service Dealer to obtain the proper High Altitude Kit and high-altitude label for your machine. To locate a dealer convenient to you, access our website at www.Toro.com or contact our Toro Customer Care Department at the number(s) listed in your Emission Control Warranty Statement. Remove the kit from the engine and restore the engine to its original factory configuration when running the engine under 1500 m (5,000 ft). Do not operate an engine that has been converted for high-altitude use at lower altitudes; otherwise, you could overheat and damage the engine.If you are unsure whether or not your machine has been converted for high-altitude use, look for the following label (Figure 3).
