Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. Engines Division is launching two rigorously tested, Ethanol-free, fuel products specifically optimized for Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE) applications. The introduction of these two additions to Kawasaki’s Signature Series family of products includes KTECH Blend Pre-Mixed 2-Cycle Fuel + Oil and KTECH Ethanol-Free 4-Cycle Fuel. The KTECH Pre-Mixed 2-Cycle Fuel + Oil product is engineered to avoid the inherent issues attached to pump fuel that is formulated for the transportation industry. It is available in quart, one and five gallon cans, as well as 54-gallon drums. This new entry in the KTECH product line provides easy starts, lower maintenance, and takes all the guesswork out of the oil and fuel mix for two-cycle equipment. Because of OPE’s high sensitivity to fuel, and with the inevitability of wide-ranging applications, pump gas has never truly provided the level of consistency required by users. This is primarily the result of the fuel production process, which varies by state and region. It’s compounded by the need to meet minimum standards that don’t prioritize OPE usage. Kawasaki’s KTECH development and engineering teams have focused on delivering a stable mixture that will last two years in a tank and five years in a sealed container. Formulated specifically for small engines, it employs 93 Octane ethanol and the highest quality 100 percent synthetic blend FD Certified oil. The premix offers better starting and more efficient operating characteristics. Tests conducted during the development procedure yielded results that indicate the superiority of the KTECH product in ...
