fuel stabilizer

Featured Replies

Hey just got my new boat and was wondering if you guys put the stabilizer in your gas the last trip you take and run it through the motor. or just put it in the gas and let it sit in there? thanks.

I always run stabilizer through my motor. This way the gas in the gas lines and other parts of the motor are also protected and it prevents corrosion on the injectors.

I found that during the summer here in Florida, if I used my boat only once a month, the fuel that was sitting in the carbs would go stale and i would have to drain them to get it started. I add stabilizer every time I put fuel in the tank. That way I should never have a stale fuel problem.

I add Stabil every time all the time when I fill up.  If its in the fall and I won't be fishing that much I add a bit extra.  Another thing that you need on your new rig is a Water Separator.  Your no doubt having to use the Ethanol crap like the rest of us and that is a necessity since it creates it's own moisture.

Most folks keep their tanks full or empty to retard the water problems from the Ethanol.  

Better safe than sorry.

I only use it in the fall and winter, when I only fish every 4-8 weeks.  Otherwise I'm fishing every week, so I have no need for it.

I use Sea Foam all the time in all my small engines. I get the benefit of stabilization plus decarboning. No matter which boat/lawn mower/chain saw/power washer/string trimmer I am useing, the fuel is always fresh and the carbon build-up is eliminalted.

I use a stabilizer every time I fill up.was told to do that many years ago by a mercury outboard tech.

I use it in every tank. Never know when I can't go fishing....

Every time gas goes into my boat Startron goes into it also.  My old 60 HP Johnson\Evinrude purrs like a kitten.
