I have moved to Alabama and have found a gas station that sells real gas. (No ethonal) My question is if I use this fuel do I still need to run quick kleen which I have done since 2002 when I bought the boat.

Quick Kleen is good to use on occassion to reduce carbon build-up in rings and on exhaust ports etc. Just be sure to use stabil or similar All the time. All gas- ethanol or otherwise is formulated for quick turn-around in auto's and needs to be chemically satabilized when it is fresh for longer life in a boat tank. . Quick Kleen gets expensive. IMO
Not a drop of fuel goes in my boat tank without Quickleen. Assuming your inquiring about the 225 Optimax in your signature, if yes, the recommended cocktail, not just Quickleen, can be found in the FAQ at top of the 3L forum which covers your engine.Originally Posted by Ranger Rick
