Default STA-BIL to the rescue ?

Guys,
Any thoughts on the product ?

My 1987 JonnyRude was smoking like “NAM” like Ferm will say, I added this stuff the darn engine purrs like a kitten and no smoke. I did not change a single thing just added this to my fuel as a test.
Question has anyone used this or its just my luck ?

I use Stabil in all my gas motors except the truck because it doesn't sit long enough. For a good example I have not started my generator in three years. We lost power this winter and I knew that the gas would probably be varnished. I choked it, pulled the starter rope twice, and it started up and ran with no problems. I was amazed and IMO Stabil works great. I do use the marine Stabil in my two boats and never had any problems whatsoever. I also use Sea Foam and Deep Creep which works great also. All great stuff.

I started using STAR-TRON enzyme treatment as the STA-BIL is too expensive for filling up large tanks. When the fuel seperates it WILL smoke like mad when running. Just make certain to use the STA-BIL for ethanol fuel though, the other one contains ALOT of ethanol in it and isn't for use with ethanol fuels.
