I will be changing the entire way I fish and fill the boat
$1500 repair bill I religously used Marine formula STABIL and still had that crap eat my motor from the inside
I will now fill cans at the marina and store as empty as I can over the winter
lesson learned the hard way

I stopped using that crap a couple years ago. I now use SeaFoam. Seems to actually work. Getting hard to find gas without ethanol anymore.
:yeah: I use it for my v-drive and seafoam brought it back to life. Read the seafoam web page and sounds like one of the 1st additives invented because of some fishermen tiered of always having to take apart their outboard motors to clean.

Stabil smells like $hit too. I started to have problems with all the carburetors on my Stihl equipment. I switched to SeaFoam and have had zero problems since.
Do not take a whiff of that seafoam either. If kids huff that they would be brain dead in a flash.

To add volatility and stabilize fuel for up to 2 years, add 1 oz. Sea FoamŪ to each gallon of fuel. To clean fuel injectors and carburetor jets do the same. To neutralize moisture build up..the same mixture.
So it appears that 1 oz. of Seafoam per gallon of gas will do all of the above.
