stabil

No, you put it in fresh gas to keep it fresh through storage.

I have used liquid "Heat" to dry moisture out of the gas tank. Otherwise, draining out the bad and replacing it with good gas should solve the problem

Stabill is a great product but used to stabilize gas that is going to be stored for a period of time.

Use the blue marine grade stabil. It's a concentrate and lends itself well for the big RV tanks

No...it preserves for about 2 years what ever gas is in. Not going to restore.

Real test for me was 2 year old gas in lawn mower and with stable. Doesn't take much bad gas in single cylinder to tell difference.

NO.
Stabilizer and fuel system cleaner are not the same thing.

If you are fairly sure that you have bad gas, it should be removed.

If you think you need a fuel system cleaner, Berrymans B12 Chemtool, Gumout and Techron (for injected systems) are good.

If you are just taking a wild guess as to what the problem is......a multi-purpose fuel system cleaner might help you figure it out.

There are (a lot of) other things that will cause an engine to run poorly.

I just use the blue stuff every tankful in anything that sits. Not cheap but works well. Prevents phase separation.

Bio'Kleen in diesel and Stanadyne fuel additive too.

Use sea foam. It will last much longer than stabil. Also as others have said use gas with no ethonal in it. It will last longer to begin with. But eventually all gas will go bad if it sits for years.

Not sure about that. Sea Foam is good for removing carbon deposits in combustion chambers and intake valves in GDI engines. Not sure about fuel stabilization however.

I'll stick with Marine (blue) Stabil. I've had excellent results with it.

I have been using "PRI " in everything an doing good. A friend who works for a marina told me about it as they tried different additives and kept having corrosion problems in marine motors, until they started using it.I have found it on the internet, and it doesn't take much per gallon.

Actually, the "rotten" gasoline was a problem long before "gasohol".
