It claims to resolve ethanol problems as well as "old" gas. The deisel version claims to reduce biological growth in the tank. As we are serious boaters, I want to be as honest and helpful as possible. When I point out the product, many customers tell me they use and like it. Other staff boaters tell me the same. I am interested in your input on this product, good or bad. Please let me know if you use the gas or deisel form, and how long you have used it. Have you noticed a difference? Good or bad? any anecdotes are welcome. Fair winds and good gas, Jayhearts 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. -- Richard Lamb |

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. |
