I last filled my chain-saw (an old Remington) over 2 years ago with
some mixed gas drained from a friend's ultralight airplane. It is 40:1
standard air-cooled engine 2 stroke oil mixed with 100LL aviation gas.
The saw started on the second pull when I needed it today. The gas was
low in the tank so I filled it out of my plastic fuel can with more of
the same gas.

So I should get my utility gas at the local airport?

This little Remington is a VERY high compression engine - it will pull
the ctarter cord right out of your hand if you are not real careful
starting it. The cackle from the exhaust lets you know it is a pretty
high performance machine. 24" bar on 35cc, IIRC. Might be 38.

Interesting, I have just an 18" bar on my 48cc Shindaiwa. I've cut a
couple rocks in half with it (embedded in trees).
