Get Ready for Lawn Care, Boating, and Recreation Season
Spring is finally here—and that means it’s time to bring your equipment and toys out of winter storage. Whether you’re gearing up to mow the lawn, take the boat out for a spin, or hit the trails on your ATV, fueling up with the right gasoline is one of the smartest things you can do to protect your engines.
At Rockingham Petroleum, we recommend stocking up on non-ethanol gasoline now so you’re ready to go the moment the warm weather hits. Here’s why spring is the perfect time to fill your fuel tanks and storage cans.
The Advantages of Non-Ethanol Fuel
Unlike traditional gasoline blends, non-ethanol gasoline doesn’t contain ethanol, a form of alcohol that can absorb moisture and degrade fuel quality over time. Ethanol can also cause corrosion and damage to rubber components—especially in small engines and machines that aren’t used daily.
Here’s why non-ethanol fuel is the smart choice for spring prep:
Long Shelf Life – Non-ethanol fuel stores much longer than ethanol-blended gas, making it ideal for equipment that’s used seasonally or infrequently.
Protects Engine Health – Ethanol can damage carburetors and fuel lines. Non-ethanol fuel helps keep your engine parts in top shape.
Smooth Starts & Performance – Avoid hard starts and sputtering engines by fueling with a stable, high-quality gasoline that burns clean.
Fueling Up for Spring Projects and Fun
Spring brings a wave of activity—yard work, weekend trips, outdoor recreation, and more. Make sure you’re prepared to make the most of the season with reliable fuel on hand for:
- Lawnmowers, trimmers & yard tools
- Boats, jet skis, and watercraft
- ATVs, motorcycles, and dirt bikes
- Generators & emergency equipment
- Classic cars and collector vehicles
