Engine Fuel Stabilizer?

[exotion]

Yes you do have to dump it. Just causes more problems and experienced this myself with Shell regular gas. I had better success using stabilizer with Shell regular than not using stabilizer. Now K100 is supposed to bring old gas back to life from what I read on it.

It's probably a seafoam knock off... I don't know why people are obsessed wirh fuel stabilizer gas burns even really old stale been sitting for a year gas burns. What you don't want is the gas to break down in the carb and gum it up. It's another one of those topics lol

Dont even compare that junky Seafoam to K100. I dont even recommend Seafoam to no one its worthless and doesnt work. If you wanna blow up your lawn equipment by using year old gas with no stabilizer thats your business. Im not gonna ruin my lawn equipment or somebody elses equipment with old gas.

This is starting to sound like the OIL debate. Fuel stabilizer is a waste of money or any fuel additives, just a money grab. Like in the older days at the fair when the guy was selling a thing you could put in your car coil to make it run better. It gives you that nice warm fuzzy feeling to put additive in your fuel and it makes you think it runs better. And by the way I did try the coil thing, he got me.

I use to add sea foam to my gas.
My wife says to me one day everything runs good until you put that stuff in the gas. That was two years ago.
I have mowers that sit for months at a time and start right up and run fine.

The gas already has stuff in it so why dilute the gas even more by adding more crap to it.

I use fuel stabilizer all year.

Fuel stabilizer being a waste of money isnt true. Thats nonsense. Might also depend what part of country or world you live at also.

Yep I put stabil in my mowers in October, and didnt start them until last week both of them started right up with no problems.

I have no problems with stabilizer either. The product I had problems with was Seafoam and I quit using it 2 years ago.

Why don't we all just switch over to electric and not worry about gas at all?

I drain my gas every winter. I don't waste my money buying stabilizer when draining the gas will suffice. I fill the tanks up with fresh gas in the spring and they usually fire up with no problems. As far as my 2-cycle engines go, I keep those gas tanks full since 2-cycle oil already has stabilizer in it, supposedly.

Then we could argue about what battery's to use.
