- bob213Explorer2oldman is correct. Many small engines like generators, lawn mowers, blowers etc. are experiencing problems with ethanol destroying the fuel lines and diaphragms in the carburetors. I use stabil in my gas truck. I use marine stabil in my boat as I'm told that ethanol attracts water. You should be fine with regular stabil in your MH. I like Seafoam for the small engines like the generator.
- 2oldmanExplorer IIEthanol is more a problem for small engines.
- tpiExplorerStabil or not, probably your priority should be the generator. These carburetors can clog from evaporating fuel deposits. I highly recommend running the generator every few weeks long enough to warm it up and dry out the exhaust system.
- bobojay5ExplorerStabil is the thing to use if you are not out on the road. Don't forget to run the generator enough to get some down in there also.
- gboppExplorerWelcome to the forum.
I also use Sta-Bil in our Southwind when it's parked for the winter.
And, I spend a little more money and buy the Marine Sta-Bil. It's supposed to have more cleaners, etc., than the regular Sta-Bil.
I don't know if it's worth the extra cost but, it makes me feel better. :)
Enjoy your travels. - klutchdustExplorer IISta-bill is good. I use a lubricity additive for my diesel pickup since the sulphur content has been screwed it. It helps to keep the pump and injectors happy. The ethanol is eating at some rubber
materials in older vehicles they say. - dsuretteExplorerI always add Sta-Bil unless I'm on a trip and will be burning up a full tank in a short time.
