More than 50 percent of the gasoline sold across the United States contains oxygenates such as ethanol, so small engine manufacturers have made certain their engines perform on these clean-burning fuels. Generally, E-10 Unleaded may be used anywhere that ordinary unleaded gasoline is used—from lawn mowers to personal watercraft, from power equipment to marine engines. Check your owner’s manual for specific information regarding your equipment.

Off-road vehicles such as ATVs and snowmobiles do not have pollution control devices, as do passenger cars and trucks. Ethanol-blended gasoline helps reduce exhaust pollution from these types of vehicles. That’s one reason that Yellowstone National Park requires that all fuel sold in the park contain 10 percent ethanol.
