No offense Gene, but I call bs - on the part of the manufacturer.

According to the MSDS PRI-G's primary ingredient is Shellsol which is
a Stoddard solvent - basically white spirit (not soluble in water)
also called dry cleaning fluid along with amines - basically organic
ammonia with organic dispersants - which could be anything.

Shellsol is also considered an environmental hazard and hazardous
material.

I'm not a chemist by any stretch of the imagination, but what I think
'cha got here is your basic marketing "switcherooni". Organic ammonia
plus organic dispersants = Wait for it, wait for it...

ammonia in alcohol.

Might as well pour a bottle of that solvent you use in your machine
shop, add a little ammonia and some wood alcohol into the tank.

All of which brings me around to the simple fact that if you use E-10
fuel, you're screwed no matter which product you use.

With respect to StarTron (the Starbrite product that everybody jumps
up and down about) - you can't find an MSDS on it online.

Wonder why? Petroleum products and enzymes - well, how about that.

Truth is nothing is going to stabilize E-10 fuels and most of the
products being promoted as "cures" for E-10 are actually adding to
environmental issues and engine problems instead of helping.

Use regular old Sta-bil - at least it's not going to hurt anything and
it will make you feel better.
