and helpful as possible. *When I point out the product, many customers

Fair winds and good gas,

Your post sounds suspiciously self serving but I'll give you the
benefit of the doubt. * A professional fuel polisher with a good
reputation told me that the diesel product he prefers is Pri-D. *He
also said that Biobor is effective but that Pri-D creates smaller
"clumps" when the bacteria precipitate out. *Smaller clumps are
desirable because they are less likely to accumulate in the bottom of
the tank and clog the fuel feed.

For gasoline Sta-Bil seems to be the product of choice among people
that I know. *I've also used it myself with good results.

I also use Sta-Bil - marine formula.
Our marina still has non-alcohol contaminated fuel at the gas pump.
But I sometimes do bring in auto gas, and other marinas - who knows?

So far, no problems, though.

Get ready for this problem to get much worse and to waste far more oil
than it saves. Marinas are soon not going to be able to get ethanol
free fuels and the ethanol content is due to increase. The economic
cost of ethanol in fuel runs into the tens of billions each year with
as much fuel dumped due to being contaminated with water as leaked
during the gulf oil spill. The ethanol in fuel is one of the
stupidest things ever to be pushed by enviro types and had done more
damage to the environment than the gulf oil spill.
Consider the millions of people with small gas engines who when
finding the fuel is bad simply dump it on the ground.Consider millions
of boaters who find they have an entire fuel tank with contaminated
fuel simply dump it because there is no good way to dispose of it.
The damage done by the use of such fuel is greater than anything BP
could have done.
