    I use Sea Foam only. Have been for a few years but I only use ethanol free fuel. Zero problems. My boat sits idol
    from the middle of June to the middle of Sept and from the middle of Nov until the middle of Feb. After pumping up
    the bulb, it cranks like I ran it yesterday.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    I only use LUCAS fuel treatment. And I always use 100% pure gas. no ethanol for my combustion engines. Non ethanol may cost a few cents more, but it is cheaper than 60+ dollars an hour marine mechanic fees.

    Seafoam works, I have worked on small engines for many of years. It loosing up built up carbon quickly. These new 2 cycle chainsaw and line trimmers with the catalyst in the mufflers is when I thought I would try soaking it in seafoam I was impressed with how it broke up all the build up

    Sea foam is what I use. Yamaha recommended it for their motor

    Seafoam or Stabil is about all I've ever used.

    Never used any of it but I keep fresh fuel and if my boat is gonna sit for a month I'll remove fuel line and drain the line by attaching a fuel connector at each end and holding it vertical (this is tedious but the dang fuel lines nowadays wholesale for over $40 and the bulb will maybe last 18 months if you let fuel sit in it 24/7/365). Another thing I do (which is not an issue with the new epa compliant fuel tank caps that let off at 5 psi) is i keep the vent knob on the tank just ever so slightly closed so that slight variations in temperature and a resulting slight expansion and contraction of the fuel doesnt pull any atmosphere and whatever humidity happens to be in the air that day in and out of the tank. And even then if my fuel gets a couple months old I just add some fresh to it. Never had a fuel problem and I burn whatever gas is convenient.
