Pelican is an unknown quantity at this point
I personally mix the 2 stroke fuel myself to avoid any lean mixes.

I lost one string trimmer to straight gas in 8 years, frankly I expected more. I use a 2 1/2 gallon can and all straight gas is in 5 gallon cans. The rule is "Small equipment, small can". The one that got straight gas was from a part timer who I forgot to tell.

I also lost a Stihl chainsaw to old age. The dealer said overbore kits were not available, I'd have to buy a new jug and piston kit. The cost was more than the saw was worth, so I replaced it. You may find the same to be true of your cut off saw.
