Got Motor Problems this may be Why
 

WOW I just drained the gas that is only year old...I cant belive the water that the ethenol sucked in ...for how on no more toping off the tank for winter .. i will drain/run it dry for the off season...had about 3/4 tank of a 40 gal. tank with about a gallon of water in it and i treated it with stabil,, here are the pics.

Stabil, startron, etc are all snake oils in my opinion. I used to treat all my gas with stabil blue. Wasted money. I have two lawnmowers, a pressure washer, a tiller, and a Honda 350 Rancher that all have fuel issues.

I do not care how much marine fuel is per gallon! Its all i will buy for my gas powered stuff except my car. It gets used enough so that i do not have problems. Ethanol is the reason I decided to keep my 1996 GMC diesel truck when i wanted to sell it.

Avoid the problem completely and just buy marine fuel. Best defense is a good offense. :clap:

I was talking to my GM Factory Certified mechanic buddy the other day and he was telling me about testing some gas out of a customers car...14% alcohol.

He said even the 100% gas he has tested has 2-3% in it.

its all about the Iowa caucus
Corn farmer votes!

I just had my fuel tank cleaned and the gas filtered by a professional. He said that the only stuff that he's seen be effective is CRC phase 4. But I agree: If you can get non ethanol gas, pay the premium.

Oh and if you buy a new weedwacker and run ethanol in it, when winter comes around, go ahead and throw it in the trash.

We have no choice here but to buy it :cen: But i use the stable and it seems to make a huge difference, for me anyway. I try not to leave any gas in the snow blower or Lawn Mower in winter or summer. I bought a battery powered weedwacker to avoid the gas issues that everyone seems to have. I have been leaving my boat full come winter and so far (knock on wood) no issues and there is 110 gal in there!!

Same here

NJ has one station showing in jersey city.

You can look in all states and BC and if you find one---add it.

Ditto. I hate to say it, but I've had no real problems with ethanol fuel. (other than the drop in MPG like everyone else). Maybe one reason is I don't leave any gas in my fuel tank for a really long time. At winter I drain my backpac blower, weed eater, lawnmowers, etc., then put a little light oil in the tank and pull it thru into the cylinder(s). Been doing it like that since my dad showed me how 50+ years ago. Smokes a little on startup, but it goes away in a minute or so. No corrosion in the bowl, cylinders, etc.
