fuel stabilizer
Do folks have a preference? I've always used seafoam. On my small engines.. (weed whacker, lawn mower, snowblower etc) I will be starting the RV every month during storage, and hopefully moving it ...

All my small engines get E0 (non-ethanol) gas. After I drain the tank and run the carb dry, I put some 2-stroke mix in the tank, run it through the carb, then drain the tank and run the carb dry again. The 2-stroke oil 1) has stabilizer in it and 2) I figure it keeps the carb gaskets from drying out.
I had to tear down and clean son-in-laws weedwacker carb this spring after he let it sit all winter with E10 in it. Coincidence?
I also go with non-ethanol gas and 2-stroke oil mix.The 2-stroke oil has good quality stabilizers already in it.I had an old chain saw sitting in my garage for about 5 years without being used.I noticed it one day and tried starting it,to my surprise two pulls and it started right up.
No kidding?

Never heard of 2s oil being a fuel stabilizer not seen it marketed as such. But I typically use injector oil not pre mix in everything 2s.
