How fuel stabilizers work...or not

There's a surprising amount of passion here about AV fuel.

We used to stop at the airstrips in Baja on our way down to Mulege because the regular Pemex fuel was so horrible. Dad had the stocker tank and two aux tanks and tried rationing the American gas for the known grades along the drive. Even diluting their horrible gas with his gas from home, the trucks still pinged like crazy.

Totally worth it. I loved those trips.
