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

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

Oh, contraire..... I saw the goop that came out of those carbs and the
fuel wasn't *that* old and I had treated it with regular Sta-bil
myself.

Startron is:
.5% Proprietary Organic Compounds
95% Solvent Naptha (Petroleum), Heavy Aliphatic

I'm not sure we have a real answer for this....... yet!

Well, it could be, not that it is you understand, crap from the tank.
I had mine flushed last Fall in the Ranger (after five years from the
last time I did it) and the crap in the fuel must be amazing because
there was easily a good 3/4 pound of - well, no other word for it,
goop sitting on the bottom of the tank. And when I had the engine
winterized, the fuel filter was as heavy as an oil filter when you
remove it.

By the way, that's what Starbrite SAYS is in StarTron - nobody
actually knows for sure.

And I'll continue to use Sta-Bil thank you very much. :)
