Whats is the difference? Also should I run both, or will the Stabil work for both the ethanol and the carbon buildup?
Thanks

Marine Stabil is for stabilizing the gas to keep it from breaking down, Quickleen is for keeping the carbon build up off the pistons. 2 completely different animals. You need to run both unless you burn all your gas and add new to your tanks in a 2 week period, then you wouldn't need the Marine Stabil. Quickleen you will need in every gallon of gas that goes in your boat.

what is Quickleen? I've never used in my optimax and have no idea where to get it......
All I have been using is Seafoam. Is that ok, or should I do something different?

As an owner of a potentially expensive replacement motor;Pro XB 250 EFI Merc, I use a combination of Stabil,Quickleen, and Startron for the purpose(s) of fuel octane stabilization,carbon maintenance/reduction, and the dreaded ethanol phase separation. Adds additional cost to the enjoyment of boating but is needed just the same, IMHO. Can never be a maintenance freak these days. LOL.

I tried Seafoam last year and I appeared to have more "soot" on my propeller than when I used Quickleen. I switched back to Quickleen this year.

You SHOULD be using Quickleen in EVERY TANK OF FUEL.
You CAN use Seafoam "in addition to" Quickleen.... but NOT "in place of" Quickleen.![]()
