Quickare?

[WaYoop]

I bought some Mercury Quickare earlier this year, from a board sponsor, and it is an amber/orange color. Was in a local Mart yesterday getting oil for the Merc, and they had Quicksilver Quickare, so I picked up a bottle. The Quicksilver branded product is basically clear, with little color. Side by side, there is a big difference in color between the two brands. Anybody know why?

I had the same question about quickleen a couple of weeks ago. I suspect the answer from Don will be nearly the same.

Thanks Ship

Probably just due to a formula change. Both will perform the same im sure.

Color may vary from one batch to another.

Make sure you're actually looking at Quickare... as QuickLEEN is actually the "clear" additive now.

Thanks Don It's Quickare vs. Quickare, was just curious about the very noticeable color difference. One quick question, it is OK to run Quickare, Quickleen, Seafoam, and Marine Stabil at a 1 oz. per 5 gallons in my 2001 one-fiddy EFI, or should I drop the Seafoam and Stabil and use Quickstore instead? Thanks again

If you are gonna run a cocktail of quikcare and quickleen then it isnt necessary to run the sta bil or seafoam. Quikstore only needs to be used if fuel is gonna sit for more than 30 days.

Can you run seafoam in place of Quickleen if you do not have access to any Quickleen?

Not recommended... as Seafoam is a completely different product (and does not contain the same active ingredients).

It also contains IPA, which isn't really something we need to be adding to fuels that may already be "ethanol laden".
