No, but they can help prevent it if you use them properly. It sure keeps me busy now with ethanol at the pumps. unfortunately ethanol cost me a bundle this week with aggrevation from my chainsaws.

Give the BRP Johnson/Evinrude 2+2 fuel stabilizer----A try--you will be pleasently pleased with your purchase---I have tried just about everything with this crap fuel---and I have been happiest with this product--it ran like I had fresh fuel in it--not 6 month old fuel or like half dead fuel like Sta-bil or seafoam or even ---startron--which was second best.

What is the 2+2 formula? Is it a carb and cylinder cleaner or a fuel conditioner/stabilizer formula.

From the dozens of pages I have read so far it seems that the 2+2 or the current version 2+4 may not be the way to go. See the following.
http://www.fuel-testers.com/review_g..._products.html

It also seems that for treating fuel Sta-Bill might fit better.
It also seems if you are looking to clean varnish etc out of your carbs, and wanting to reduce carbon that Sea Foam would be a good product to use a couple times a season heavy to de-carb etc. and at the end of the season to store your boat along with a good fogging oil.
And Sta-Bill in your fuel.
Or from what I am reading now with the E-10 it is best to store your boat with a empty tank.

its best to store your tank close to empty, I've been preaching that for years. Its funny how people refuse to do that. Every one is scared of condinsation in their tanks, even people with plastic tanks. It really confounds me that my custmers will go by $50 worth of chemicals after teh fact to treat their fuel, but complain when it cost t hem $250 t rebuild the carbs because they treated the fuel after the boat sat up all winter. I'll stick with what I know works. I use stabill to treat fuel before storage, use ring free/carbon guard to decarb motors, I have used seafaom as well. I just started using amsoils new fuel treatment, its designed as a after the fact treratment, we'll see how it works
