Fuel Treatment

[Robert Crane]

Has anyone used Stable in there fuel and had good results, it hard to find non-ethanol fuel at some places?

A local small engine shop won't use Sta-Bil. Use SeaFoam instead.

Seafoam doesn't make a "stabilizer". Seafoam IS a stabilizer. I have used it with far better success than Stabil. IMO. YMMV.

I don't like ethanol fuel on principle - ethanol produces less power than gas does. But, that being said, I don't have problems with it and I've never used any additive.

If I were to use StaBil I would mix it well before storage.

I've used Sta-Bill for years, works well for me YMMV.

Burn the gas doing something with the tractor you will have better luck. If you are only storing fresh fuel for one winter you won’t have any trouble

More power less fuel efficiency. Most people’s main complaint with it is it disappears faster. People on a budget use e85 as cheap race fuel in their bikes and just about everything else

Used E85 in a 38 b for a few years so that it would spin the lawnmower easier it only had 14 or 16hp. Sure smelled nice too.
