Ethanol problems with 2 strokes

Post by Bink »

Here is a link to some gas stations listed by state where you can find ethanol free gas.
Since we don't have any ethanol free gas around here I'v started using Stabil every fill-up and have noticed a huge difference in my equipment and outboard.

Just make sure the Stabil is the green stuff made especially for treating fuel that contains ethanol. Wally world sells it for $19.xx per quart. If memory serves me correctly, one ounce of the stuff treats 5 gallons of gasoline, so a quart will go a long way.

Bink,

Thanks for the listing of the "Ethanol Free" gas stations. Be sure to keep the Sta-Bil Marine Formula in the gas at the correct porportion.. The Sta-Bil really works. {Keeps the ethanol from absorbing water}
