There are two really good suggestions here. Running something out of fuel means no lubrication for several cycles. When we used to mix fuel and oil for our snowmobiles my dealer told me to get the machine stopped quick if I ever run out of fuel..his rational was that the pistons would be flying up and down for several seconds as the machine slowed down and came to a stop on its own..and all that time there was no lubrication because there was no fuel! Notjustair has it right in my opinion use a fuel stabilizer such as Stihl makes for their saws. It is mixed with the oil in the bottles and ready to go to make your proper fuel ratio. I always buy high test fuel for the chainsaws and trimmers and I use Stihl oil. My chainsaws often sit from one fall to the next, the trimmers from one summer to the next and I never have a problem. Prior to that I used to use Stabil and it gave me the same good results as well. This has been my experience and Stihl recommends using premium fuel in the mixture.
