Got a new leaf Blower Echo 250. Was curious how long the blower will run on a fill up of gas? If I take a gallon of gas with me to the desert, will that be enough?

Well it is going to depend on the RPM of which you run the blower, but 1.5 gallons of fuel will last me 10 hours.

Be sure ya don't forget the 2-cycle oil, or premix the fuel before you

One tank (blower) seems to last me 45-60 min, I also clean the air filter element after each session of hard use.

Using them wide open, they last me 45 minutes each tank. That is on the roof, again, wide open the whole time. Drywasher throttle, about an hour. Time flies when you are having fun, though and it won't seem that long.

Panman, I did not answer your question per tank cause Echo has a new 250 and not knowing if you have old or new version. The new version holds nearly 17oz. of fuel of which 1 gallon of fuel will give you 7.5 tanks of fuel.
