Cool Sta-Bil

I never cease to be amazed at this stuff. I scrapped my 21' Cruisers, Inc. boat 2 weekends ago. Before doing so I had to tear out the fuel tank for enviornmental reasons. To make it lighter to lift I emptied it first. There were about 25 gallons of fuel in the tank, and it was at least 3 years old. (The last time the boat was run) I looked at it sitting in the 5 gal buckets I emptied it into, and it looked and smelled ok, so I said what the hell and put some in one of my lawnmowers... it ran perfectly!! So I put it in all my lawnmowers and string trimmers.. They all run perfectly!! 3 year old gas!!! The stuff is amazing...

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.

I'm cheap. I can clean and reassemble a lawnmower engine's carb easily. Not so sure about the injectors in the Fancy Dancy Land Rover.

But all kidding aside, I really don't thnk the gas would be a problem in a car. I'll
probably put a few gallons in the Jeep, diluted with some fresh gas.

No idea, but probably. NJ has mandated 10% ethanol gas for several years now.
