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!

Oh, yeah.... Sta-bil is 95% Naptha, too..... I hope the "other stuff"
is the answer/active ingredient in these respective [admittedly] snake
oils.....

On a related subject, I wonder if this whole "phase separation" thing
is actually a problem or if it's just more BS.
