 Unleaded should do fine. Is it two or four stroke? If its two stroke you will need to add oil to the petrol.
I generaly just stick things in the ground green side up.

Hi, Its a super major merry tiller 5hp, suspect it is 4 stroke? What do you reckon? Mick

it's a four stroke, use ordinary unleaded. check the oil level in the engines sump before use (they can burn a bit of oil)

 I have a Merry Tiller. Great machine & as Mick has already said its a 4 stroke, nigh on bomb proof little Briggs & Stratton engine.

 Just make sure you have a plenty of oil on hand to keep it toped up & it will go on forever.
