I also use ethanol free in all my small engines for that very reason.

That's the thing. This was only the second or third tank of gas in a brand new fuel system, and each tank was 93 octane premium from a local independent station that I started using because they sell a lot of gas and Diesel and those have worked in our newer cars. At this point my guess is that they sell a lot of regular and Diesel, but not a lot of premium.
