I've had better success using it in Florida over the regular Stabil. Also try 100LL if its allowed in the 503s. All of my engines in Florida (without catalytic converters) are stored with 100 LL in the fuel system. No problems to date.

We've just recently run out of Ethanol free fuel here on the BP's newest acquisition...the Gulf Coast. The last experience we had with Ethanol fuel was a total disaster to include one engine failure that I barely cleared a tree line on. Can anyone give me info on any additives that may help dealing with Ethanol fuel. Currently, I'm using Sta-bil engine additive for nothing else than to make me feel good. Some people say SeaFoam is good too but others say nothing will help.

Sea foam was recommended in my Rotax engine class but upon investigation I found out it also contains alcohol(don't know how much) I have been using Lucas brand octane booster when I have to use old gas(over 3 weeks) in addition to my nomal Marine Sta-Bil (green color) It does not contain alcohol and appears to work well. Their other products are very good. My two cents.

Thanks for the info. Will look for it. Things are getting pretty nasty over by Gulf Shores & Perdido. What a mess! Bill C.

I have been using the regular Stabil for years. I put it in my gas as soon as I get it, even if I think I=92m going to use the gas right away. I do check the carb bowls on my 912s and I have not seen any varnishing. Sometimes my gas my be over 3 months old. I have never had any problems. _____ From: owner-rotaxengines-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rotaxengines-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Blumax008@aol.com Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 10:07 AM Subject: Re: RotaxEngines-List: re: old E-10old E-10 Dick, Didn't know they made a Marine grade Sta-bil.
