Stabilizer doesn't work in gas with ethanol???
I just read in my owners manual that stabilizer doesn't work with gas that
has ethanol added to it. Most of the gas here in the North east s 10 - 15 % ethanol...I think...is this true and what should I do about this??? Any coments appreciated John |

According to their website, it's safe to use in gasoline that has ethanol in it. I guess just saying it's "safe" isn't exactly the same as saying it's as effective in keeping the fuel viable. However, if there was a problem with it being ineffective in fuel containing ethanol, I think we'd all have heard about it long ago. Ethanol is very common in most gas sold in the US now. Also, if you want to be 100% sure, you could buy their marine version, which I'm sure comes at a marine price. It is specifically labled as and targeted for fuels containing ethanol. |

Believe I use about one ounce Sta-bil per 2.5 gal gas. It probably has alcohol in it but not enough to upset the solubility of the ethanol in the gas. I use the stabilized gas in mower, chain saw, generator and weed wacker without problem. |
