Ready to service our Deere LX280 lawn tractor yesterday & realized I didn't have a new oil filter so went to a very reputable repair shop to buy one. While there I asked mechanic if he had a clue why gas filter kept getting gunk in it. BTW, I heeded advice from here regarding Seafoam stablizer last year. Still, had to change the darn thing

3x's after.

He said I should buy only from a station that sells kind with no ethanol & to use high octane as well. Does this sound right to y'all?

Never dreamed at age 73 I'd have to handle such but DH no longer remembers how to operate compressor & fill our air tank, so...

Thanks bundles 'n heaps,

Suzi
