Timely post for me. I have in the last week had to drain 5 month old gas from my motorcycle and rebuild the carbs ( that I rebuilt a year ago ) due to shitty ethanol gas. All of the brass parts in the carbs were coverd with green corrosion. The 930 that was dropped off last week would BARELY run due to year old shitty ethanol based fuel so I drained it too. I was talking to the guy I used to work with about this and he told me about a Hemmings article he just read about Ethanol fuel, and they also tested Stabil, and came to the conclusion it is a waste of money. The article basically said for winter storage, drain all the fuel out of the vehicle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Wonder if the Stabil for boats works? I've had my 2-stroke sting trimmer gum up on me, my mower sputters and my 914 idles like CRAP...lovely. Has anyone tried StarTron fuel additive? Any success? |

Has anyone tried StarTron fuel additive? Any success? I have not tried it, but at a recent PCA tech session, the topic of fuel stabilizers came up. There were a couple of guys who had bad stories about Stabil, but found StarTron to be wonderful when used with E10 fuel blends. One of them was a chemist and had an incredibly complex explanation (which I won't even try to type out) for why StarTron was better. YMMV If I find StarTron the next time I have to buy one of these products, I'll try it, but I've never had troubles with Stabil in the past.... Here is more information about StarTron |
