Is it possible to flush out diesel fuel in a gasoline lawn mower engine without buying a new lawn mower?
Any recommendation would be appreciated.
Answer
Yes you can do it! You didn't say if it's a push or a rider, either way it's simple! If you have a push mower first remove the air filter, tip the mower over (with a bucket under to catch the diesel) getting as much out as possable. Some engine oil will run out that's why you removed the air filter to keep oil out of the element. Refill the tank with fresh gasoline. You may have to use a starting fluid (sparingly) to counteract the diesel in the carb, but it will start. run the tank dry and you should be over the crisis of diesel fuel. Oh don't forget to replace the clean air filter!

Can you use gas with much ethanol in a ride lawn mower?

I have a Cub Cadet Rider and it's about 2 years old. Also, can you use ethanol gas in a push lawn mower?
Answer
The engine should run fine on up to 15% ethanol (E85). However....all of our small engine vendors have told us that over time the flexible rubber and plastic seals throughout the engine will become brittle and hard from using ethanol. Eventually the engine will be damaged and need to be overhauled. Those small engines weren't designed with ethanol in mind unlike the larger engines found in cars and trucks.
