Gas treatment

When I start sipping Super Shell, then I'll go along with cars gulping corn likker.

To keep the fuel system clean same as any other engine. Especially one that might see lots of off time between uses.

Someone please post a picture of a carb bowl containing/ anything in it that could possibly be blamed on to E-10. Every bowl I've removed for the sole purpose of finding the KA KA that is left by e-10, has been spotless inside, and I've posted pics of them.
I just wish I'd have bought stock in additives when it was dirt cheap

It's not about kaka in the bowl, it's about deterioration of lines, seals, etc. and the phase separation. Google ethanol's effects (especially on small engines) and be enlightened.

I use gasoline to operate, white gas to store and with the money I save I sit in the shade and sip a cool one.

Ethanol free gas
Stabil for storage and
2-stroke marine oil as a fuel additive(all the time)

This confuses me because long before ethanol was an additive to gasoline I seemed able to gum up a carb on lawn mowers and chainsaws without breaking a sweat.:)

I use ethanol on road gasoline and do not require any additive in
my Onan. Honda 1K, 2 stroke tiller, Lawnmower, Suzuski 650 MC or Honda outboard.

If you are into sea foam, do a little googling and there is a simple formula for home made sea foam.

Works for me and the cost is a pittance compared.
