    Sta-Bil Marine Formula - Who uses it routinely?

    I was wondering if anyone puts it in their tank all the time. Especially 4 stroke owners. Should I start using it? Does it help the effects of Ethanol? Thanks Al

    Marine Stabil, Pennzoil 100% synthetic, and Ringfree (or Seafoam if I'm out or can't find it locally). Put in at the pumps just prior to adding the gas (makes sure all the additives are flushed into the fuel tank that way).

    Good point Pilgrimlarry. I also put stabil in all my gas cans for yard work stuff when I fill them. As soon as my last can of the red stabil is gone, I'm buying nothing but the marine stabil even for my lawn equipment - alcohol is the big problem now.

    I use the marine sta-bil in my 4 stroke on every fill up. Also use Sea Foam. Have not had any issues in the 2 years that I have owned it.

    RingFree and Marine Sta-Bil whenever gas goes in the tank. It's what my Yamaha mechanic recommends

    Re: Sta-Bil Marine Formula - Who uses it routinely? (Big Al)

    Marine Sta-Bil in every tank of both boats (15' duck boat and Skeeter) as well as my 'lawnmower gas can' and my 'mixed gas' can. RingFree also goes in both boats on every tank as well.

    Before Marine Sta-Bil it was regular Sta-Bil for years. Had good luck so far

    I just do the ring free for my F225. I buy only non-ethanol fuel for my boat and don't store it on the water, so I don't bother with the Stabil.

    2 stroke---use Stabil Marine and Ringfree every single time I fill up. Had no problems thus far!
