OK, I'll stick my neck out here and hope it doesn't get chopped off. I see no value in the Sta-Bil product whatsoever ... period! I have seen Sta-Bil users that swore by the product and in many cases there was a white powder left in the carbs after using the product. The powder itself caused more problems than not using the product. It seemed as the product caused a problem that really didn't exist in the first place.

If you use fresh gas, you don't need the product .... period. Run the carb dry before periods of long storage and you don't need the product. Most people use gas containing ethanol without problems.... problems seem to exist in some parts of the country but I don't think these are related to ethanol but the overall blend formula of the gas in those areas. Sta-Bil won't help you in these cases so don't waste your money. If your gas is getting old, pour it in your auto or lawnmower and buy fresh gas ... don't waste your money on products that have questionable value.

Did I say that I don't like Sta-Bil? YMMV ... Your mileage may vary ..... so use it if you must. As a disclaimer ..... it may work great for some people .... I just have not seen that positive experience yet.
