Impressive, that's a lot of miles for
any vehicle. Original batteries? Any major repairs?

Ah, great. Finally a thread hijack to liven things up. 
And what about Mark and whatshername moving away from their restaurant.....
Did they really move to Central America ? ....lower cost of living....Ecuador (SA) is really being touted as an inexpensive place to live. Has
anybody any current experience with Ecuador?

I did...temporarily. I hired the lawn service's onetime half-owner to trim cactii in my yard, and he cut his finger w/a chainsaw. I gave him a nice
tip, and stopped using the service. Now, several years later I am back, but only as long as I have to since accidents can and do happen.

CORTADOR de CESPED MEXICANO
Trick learned from professional loggers. Drain tank. Run 'till quits. Put in a half quart of WHITE GAS. Start, run 15 seconds shut off. White
gas can not go bad, ever. No gum no varnish. Have stored stuff five years, starts instantly.

White gas is simply unleaded gasoline (but without automotive additives), and Coleman Fuel is White gas.

From an ex-Shell Oil refinery employee.
White gasoline is pure NAPTHA
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Naphtha is used primarily as feedstock for producing high octane gasoline (via the catalytic reforming process). It is also used in the bitumen
mining industry as a diluent, the petrochemical industry for producing olefins in steam crackers, and the chemical industry for solvent (cleaning)
applications. Common products made with it include lighter fluid, fuel for camp stoves, and some cleaning solvents. Light Naphtha is also used
directly as a blending component in the production of gasoline."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Replacing 100% fuel in equipment for storage with white gas is 10-times better than trying to use an additive to inhibit the formation of gum and
varnishes. I've had the "best" gasolines with Sta-Bil go bad, and name any other storage additive including Sea Foam. Draining and Replacing with
COLEMAN FUEL is so much better it is laughable. This includes generators used seasonally in Mexico and motorhomes. A customer started a 6.5 NH Onan
genset stores TEN YEARS, and he chortled it started "Instantly".

Pemex Gas
I have been using Pemex gas in San Felipe in my leaf (sand) blower, power washer (for a lot of sand), and Honda generator for years with no problems.
In fact, when we go to San Diego, I make it a point to fill up in Mexicali so I don't have to buy gas in California.
