Leo.......Honestly. I guess I never realized that gas had any lubricating factor at all. Diesel fuels do and that's what helps keeping the pump from seizing up. What is there to lube in the gas system? The valves are lubed from the little bit of oil that seeps down past the guides. All working parts on a carburator are made to run dry. Everything else is the system is stationary and made only to seal. No need for lubrication there. You'll do just fine with the gas they produce today for your tractor. Especially if no run of troubles yet. Good luck!!!!
