Question Best fuel treatment for ethanol?

I have been using Star Tron but am wondering if there is a better additive to help stabilize the ethanol in fuel?

I guess the best id to try and burn it up ASAP?

Use a known NON-Alcohol stabilizer and run it through the system for a short while before putting it on the trailer.

Always use as much as possible as often as you can and don't leave large quantities in the tank if you know you're gonna store it longer than 3 months.

Ethanol absorbs moisture from the air right through the tank vent so you have to contend with that.

Of course, the best treatment is to not use it if you have a choice somewhere but I've yet to find any. Arco, and some of the other cheaper suppliers have been known to use larger amounts of Ethanol in the last several years but they may all be the same now. Read the pump. If at a marina, ask them. You make less power on it as well.... Sux.
