[QUOTE="wasilvers, post: 105788, member: 1776"] Listened to one of the radio programs I linked to last week and they talked about Marine Stabil. I caught a couple of interesting facts that I didn't know before: [list] [*]Marine Stabil is 4 times stronger than standard stabil - each ingredient is quadrupled to make it (I wonder if it costs 4 time more too?) [*]To clean your engine use 1 oz per 5 gallons - compared to 1 oz per 10 gallons normal use. [*]Most ethanol gas is terrible on metal parts because it mixes well with water and starts corroding any metal it touches almost immediatly. Winter gas has less ethanol in it so pump up with that if you can wait when winterizing [*]Not all gas is the same - branded fuels (shell, exxon, etc) add detergents - Speedway etc doesn't always add detergents [*]Store your gas tank full when winterizing to reduce water in your tank come spring(evaporation/condesation during temp changes)[/list] Hope it helps, Will [/QUOTE]
