How to Quickly Refuel Your Snow Blower in Freezing Temps
Snow blowing is a very enjoyable experience -- until the engine starts sputtering.
There is nothing more uncomfortable than refueling a snow blower in freezing temperatures.
Until recently, there were only two results: frozen fingers or smelly gloves.
The secret to a successful pit stop is getting the right supplies before the first snow flake falls.
Singe-Stage Snow Blowers
 Unlike your lawnmower, single-stage snow blowers feature 2-cycle (instead of 4-cycle) engines.
The biggest difference is where you put the oil. With 2-cycle engines, the oil goes into the gas tank instead of the engine.
Ordinarily, mixing a concoction of gas and oil isn't a big deal. It's not so easy, however, doing it in the snow with gloves.
Step 1: Get a Good Gas Can
 Unfortunately, the gas can in your garage isn't the best option. You'll need a separate, yet smaller gas can.
We strongly recommend the Flo N' Go 2.6-Gallon Gas Can because it features a gas station-style handle. Simply squeeze the trigger a few times, and the gas starts flowing.
Step 2: Order More Oil
 Most snowblowers come with a small, 2.6-ounce bottle of oil. It's enough for one (that's right, one) gallon of gas.
One gallon isn't enough to get you through the winter. You'll need at least 2 gallons. In other words, you'll need at least two bottles of engine oil.
Step 3: Mix Gas & Oil
 Fill your Flo N' Go with two gallons of gas. Add 2 x 2.6-ounce bottles of 2-cycle engine oil. Shake.
Most 2-cycle engine oil already includes fuel stabilizer, so you don't need to add any. If it doesn't, be sure to add some to keep your fuel fresh.
