Mr. Luddite

"I just dragged the old Honda EU-2000 out of the barn, just in case we
lose power in this storm. *It hasn't been used or even run for three
years. *When I put it away after it's last use the fuel tank was full.
I added a few ounces of Stabil to the tank and stored it away.

It took about 5 pulls, then fired right up. *Runs nice and smooth.

Of course, the only way to tell if Stabil really works would be to
store it for the same period of time with a full tank but *without*
adding Stabil.

This is the second time it fired up easily after a long storage. *The
first time was about 6 years. Used Stabil then also.

Snake oil or not, I think I'll keep using Stabil. "


My dealer adds Mercury's version of Stabil every November when I have the motor winterized for it's seven month sleep.
