    Alternative to Ring Free?

    Here in Canada Ring free is hard to find and when I do find it It's way over priced. Can anyone recommend an alternative? Saw a bottle on Amazon for 180 dollars.... pass.

    Thanks in advance Jay

    Yamaha Ring Free? If so I just picked up two bottles for $23 each. Not sure what the exchange rate is but it can't be $57.
    when you see this on the water stop and say hi.

    Just take the money that you normally spend on it and light it on fire with a lighter.



    Just kidding. If you want to use an additive see if you can find a similar product. Starton, seafoam, mercury branded product, Lucas, etc.

    I was under the impression Techron additive was for 4 stroke and Ring Free was for 2 strokes.

    Either one. But I agree with Mike. Run good fuel with properly tuned engine and it's not needed.
