Sta-bil is
designed to keep fuel fresh in engines that are stored for seasonal use. Most
fuels start to oxidize after 30 to 90 days. Oxygen reacts with gas to create
gummy residues and varnish-like films that can clog fuel lines, carburetors and
injectors.
Sta-bil
prevents corrosion, cleans carburetors, fuel injectors and protects against
rust.
Sta-bil is
recommended by name by over 70 engine and equipment manufacturers for 2 and 4
cycle engines.
Some people
recommend draining all the fuel and running an engine dry for storage, but this
has problems. You can never get out all the fuel, so the remaining fuel will
vanish and become gummy. The exposed metal in the tank and system will be
exposed to air and rust. Gaskets that are left to the air can dry out and crack.
For storage Sta-bil recommends filling the gas tank 95% full and adding a fuel stabilizer to protect the fuel for 12 to 15 months.
