Ethanol in fuel

I have been using the Marine Stabil in all my outdoor equipment and boat for over a year with no problem. Lukas also makes an additive for ethonol.

I sell gallons of Stabilizers, and they certainly help. I was referring to Long Term storage.(6 months or longer) Eventually the ethanol WILL break down. Some engines, especially EFI engines are more tolerant to the phase separation because of the amount of fuel pressure in those systems. 38lbs. plus fuel pressure will force the ethanol through the fuel system, even if it has separated, and won't burn efficiently. The BTU rating of ethanol is considerably lower than regular gas, and also adds to the problem.

You can run sea foam additive to clean it first and then don't let it sit long like they say go 2 times a wk.
