In a petrol station........
RM Oh...Its just normal 4star fuel then?

Absolutely not!

Standard unleaded works on nearly all small engines, but the golden rule
is that all strimmers run on 2/stroke. Neat petrol will kill your
strimmer.

They aren't all 2-stroke, but the vast majority are. The 4-stroke ones are
rare, but I know I've seen some in the shops.
