Getting ready to store the boat. Was going to fill the tank 3/4 full next week and add a stabalizer. What are you guys using? I’ve done sea foam in the past.

They also have a product called XP+ that I will try when I run out of current bottle.

October 24, 2019 at 9:27 pm #1886823No need to over complicate things. Just use the required amount of sta-bil and run it for a while.

You can use it in gas or diesel engines. I use it in every tank, my truck, weed eaters, boats, quads,chain saws all without a fuel related issue…

October 24, 2019 at 9:57 pm #1886834Lucas has come out with a marine specific fuel additive that looks promising.
October 25, 2019 at 6:25 am #188684410 responses. 6 different products used. That settles it, just like every forum question ever.
October 25, 2019 at 6:34 am #1886845Getting ready to put mine away soon also
What level of fuel in the tank is the best ?
If you use Premium fuel do you need a stabilizer ?I have had mouse problems in the past so last year I used ” Fresh Cab ” in my boat
and I didn’t have any visitors. And they smell Good.October 25, 2019 at 6:38 am #1886847I use Sea Foam all year long
October 25, 2019 at 6:51 am #1886848I run Non oxy fuel and usually use Stabil.
October 25, 2019 at 7:24 am #1886850I run Non oxy fuel and usually use Stabil.
Plus one!
October 25, 2019 at 7:43 am #1886852If you use ethanol free premium fuel, you don’t necessarily need to use a fuel stabilizer. If the fuel is going to sit there for a very long time (like a year or more), then you can add it.

SEAFOAM X 5
Run it in your fuel at 2 oz per gallon before your last trip on the water.. They sell a spray that can be used to fog your system as well and easy to do. I have done this with my Yamaha since 2005 and she still runs great. I only shut my boat down for 2-2.5 months on an average year so skip fogging at times if the river is open and just keep running it in my fuel during the winter.

October 25, 2019 at 9:44 am #1886885Non-oxy plus Seafoam
October 25, 2019 at 9:52 am #1886887Last tank of the year gets filled with premium non oxy and every tank with Sta-bil marine formula. Been doing this for a long time and haven’t experienced any fuel issues.
SeaFoam is a great product, but if you’re running an evinrude etec it’s not recommend you use it. Apparently it’ll run too lean.
October 25, 2019 at 9:53 am #1886888Seafoam, but I’d usually run the gas down near empty so I can have mainly fresh gas in the spring.
October 25, 2019 at 9:55 am #1886889I run Non oxy fuel and usually use Stabil.
I have tried a lot of things, and with non-oxy plus Stabi, every spring my boat motor starts as if I just turned it off yesterday.
October 25, 2019 at 10:20 am #1886898I have experienced the same results using Seafoam and Stabil for storage over the 25 years I have stored stuff. Never an issue. I do use non-oxy gas only.
October 26, 2019 at 3:53 pm #1887062Related question, value of running carb dry if gas has been treated?
The Back 40October 26, 2019 at 5:40 pm #1887071Related question, value of running carb dry if gas has been treated?
On my 4hp it’s almost a must to run that puppy dry as the carb and hoses are tinny and it doesn’t take much to cause an issue. My 90hp doesn’t even have a way to shut off the gas to run it dry.
October 26, 2019 at 5:51 pm #1887073Star tron and non ethanol premium…yes I fill my tank for the winter.
October 26, 2019 at 7:45 pm #1887096Non-oxy plus…. run it until at least January. Then take it out in March.
