Fuel Stablizer

[v70cat]

As we are entering the end of summer in the NE it is time to add fuel stabilizer to your fuel.

Most of us use the boat less often in the fall and with E10 gas it is important to add stabilizer if the gas sits in your tank for more than a month. Yes you want to store the boat with empty/almost tanks but we have are not at that point yet; by adding stabilizer on your next fill the gas remaining in your fuel system will be set for winter.

Most of the gas additives benefits are questionable but stabilizer benefit is clear cut and stabilizer is low cost.

Good info, and......the shelf life of E10 is not good at all, only 15 to 20 days with no stabilizer.

Be sure to use an Ethanol friendly stabilizer which will extend the shelf life to 3 months.
