Affirmative Parishht, the new ethanol is cleaning out the tank, I guess I sorta got sidetracked in my own reply. The reason for the startron additive is to combat or abate the deteriorating effects the ethanol has on all of the motors fuel delivery components. Just as important, ethanol fuel evaporates quicker than the"old gas", and what evaporates away is replaced w/ water or moisture which is a big problem w/ inboard tanks. I've only ran about 30-40 gallons of gas since the repair and all seems well.I'd probably be more concerned if it were 25% ethanol as opposed to 10%
