Fuel stabilizers
 

Winter is almost upon us. For those who store their boat. This video is for you. Even for those who store gasoline.

Good video. I wish he would have tested Sta-bil ethanol treatment and stabilizer and Lucas safe guard ethanol fuel conditioner with stabilizers.

On my street car I run e85. The only treatment that has worked is the Lucas treatment. If the car sits without being used, the fuel injectors with stick closed. With the Lucus no issues. A couple times a year I remove the injectors and put them in my import fuel injector tester. Spray pattern and flow stays good. They only product I have found that works for me.

I have, in the past, asked him to do marine applications. He hasn't. Probably because his main audience is for the road. Or he has missed my posts. That said, this was a 5 year test and STA-BIL Storage Fuel Stabilizer was very impressive. Another take away was how miserable Sea Foam performs again... He has tested Sea Foam in the past. With a less than glowing score.

Sea Foam isn't a fuel stabilizer is it?

I thought it was just a very primitive engine cleaner.

You don't even have to watch the video I posted. Just look at the video post and read the Sea Foam can and what it is suppose to do.

Thank you. I can't stand YouTubers.

If the takeaway is that you should not use Sea Foam, Marvel Mystery oil and that fake octane booster that 2-stroke people and Mopar guys believe in to stabilize fuel, I am all for it.

I run 90 rec fuel and add Bo0stane Marine. Zero issues and boat run's smoother than pump 93 IMO.

Over my last 19 years of go-fast boat ownership I have used stabilizers, avoided stabilizers, left the tanks full, left them empty, fretted about it, prayed about it and never once noticed any difference.

i take it out mid September and put it back in sometime mid-may to early June.

i would spend very little time worrying about it

Sometimes people overthink it , think of all the brand new cars sitting in storage lots for months not sold or used vehicles,

First of all. If you know of a dealer that has cars just sitting on a lot for months. Find another dealer....
My wife works at a Buick, GMC, Subaru dealer and they wash and start every vehicle every week. They move them around also.
When I was deployed (underway) for 6-7 months in the 70's. Gas was A LOT different. Crank the car over for 30 Seconds when you got back and away you went. Of course we all had carbs back then. Unless you had a Mercedes with fuel injection. But fuel injection, for the most part, are now the norm. And if you don't start your engine up regularly to flow fresh gas through them. You get Gremlins.
Personally, I don't use gas stabilizers. I start my engines up every 3 weeks if the sat. And I don't care if anyone does or doesn't. That's up to them.
I though that some people might get something out of the video........... I did.
