winterizing fuel what do you use ? Options

[rfuerst911sc]

Just wondering what fuel stabilizer you guys are using ? I know about Sta-Bil, Seafoam and I noticed at the FLAPS today a version by CRC. So what to use ? To be honest I bought 2 cans of the CRC and dumped one can into the GMC diesel even though she's a driver. Just wanted to see what it would do. But I have the 911 , 914 , the beemer bike and various outdoor power products to winterize. So what say the wisdom of the board ?

It's become more and more of a problem with today's fuels turning into a very foul smelling jelly in a short period of time. I think the best option is to continue using and running fuel through the vehicle.

If you can get real fuel (not the Crapanol laced stuff many have to deal with), I'd fill the tanks with that and then add Sta-Bil or SeaFoam. I've used both successfully in the past, but don't let the fuel sit longer than 6 months. If you'd have a way to drain and use up the fuel and refill with fresh, that would probably be the best way.

I had to let a car sit for a year, and had to have the carbs flushed and rebuilt ($850 for the two Webers) from the fuel jelling. Kind of wish I could drive them year round to try to not have to do this again, but the winter salt really eats cars up here.
