Default Stabil again


I just dragged the old Honda EU-2000 out of the barn, just in case we
lose power in this storm. It hasn't been used or even run for three
years. When I put it away after it's last use the fuel tank was full.
I added a few ounces of Stabil to the tank and stored it away.

It took about 5 pulls, then fired right up. Runs nice and smooth.

Of course, the only way to tell if Stabil really works would be to
store it for the same period of time with a full tank but *without*
adding Stabil.

This is the second time it fired up easily after a long storage. The
first time was about 6 years. Used Stabil then also.

Snake oil or not, I think I'll keep using Stabil.
