All this just from sitting over the winter? Throw some boostane or torco in it for added safety if you choose so, then take it easy until you dilute it out. You don't need to set the throttles to kill every damn second the boats on the water...

I am with you my sea ray sat 2.5 years started up perfect ran perfect didn't even have stable. Just don't beat the flames off it if you can get some race fuel throw 20 gallons in it. Guess I'm just lucky lol

We generally add 20-25% 110 leaded race gas to 75-100 gal of pump gas.

Wasn't going to start a new thread as there are a few out there already.....Engine Power is on the boob tube, a sponsor is Race gas fuel concentrate and may be an option for those that need a tweak of octane but Boostane osn't on the shelf.

Never used it personally, just seen the promo on what it does / or may claim to do.... but it may be a real option from the snake oils out there.

i have been using ACES4 it works as a booster and a stabilizer. have had vehicles sit over a year and start right up pushed hard no misfiring stumbling . no strange build up on the porcelain because of chemicals in other boosters that dont burn. also proved on dyno to boost HP. seems pricy untill you figure only 1 oz is needed per 6 gallons.

Drop some av gas in it. Should be cheaper than race gas, adding a leaded octane booster to 100LL gives it a big octane boost too.

I have been using Brian's stuff in everything for quite a few years. One boat sat idle since 2014 with 10% ethanol gas in it; started right up this year and ran OK. Ran it easy (not a supercharged engine) to burn the old fuel off. Was shocked the fuel hadn't phase seperated. Sems to work as an booster as well in the roots and twin turbo motors.
