Prove me wrong!
Fuel stabilizers are often marketed as essential additives for small engine equipment, claiming to maintain fuel quality during long storage periods. However, I believe that relying on fuel stabilizers is unnecessary and can lead to additional, avoidable costs. Instead, installing a fuel shutoff valve and using it to manage fuel supply for storage offers a more effective and economical solution.
Fuel stabilizers can be a recurring expense that adds up over time. Given their relatively high cost and the frequency with which small engine equipment may be stored, the financial burden can be significant. Moreover, the effectiveness of fuel stabilizers is sometimes questioned, as they may not always prevent issues like gum and varnish formation or phase separation in ethanol-blended fuels.
Installing a fuel shutoff valve on small engine equipment is a one-time investment that pays off in multiple ways. This valve allows the user to cut off the fuel supply and run the engine until it stalls, effectively burning off any remaining fuel in the carburetor. This simple method ensures that no fuel remains in the system to degrade or cause blockages over time.
By physically draining the fuel, you eliminate the potential for stale fuel to create problems, such as hard starting, poor performance, or the need for costly repairs. This process is straightforward, requiring minimal effort compared to the ongoing purchase and application of fuel stabilizers.
From a cost perspective, a fuel shutoff valve is a clear winner. The initial cost of installing a valve is quickly offset by the savings from not purchasing fuel stabilizers repeatedly. Additionally, the maintenance savings from avoiding fuel-related issues contribute to the overall cost-effectiveness of this approach. Users are not subjected to the cycle of buying, measuring, and adding stabilizer to their fuel, reducing both direct costs and the hassle involved. Avoiding fuel stabilizers in favor of a fuel shutoff valve presents a practical and economical approach to maintaining small engine equipment. By implementing this simple solution, you can effectively manage fuel-related issues, save money, and ensure the longevity and reliability of your equipment without the unnecessary expense of fuel additives.

that stuff isnt from stabilizers.. thats from ethanol.. seen that ion carbs from old classic cars

I only rely on the stabilizer to keep the gas in a steel motorcycle tank from degrading (too much) over the winter. To protect the carbs, I shut off the fuel and run the engine dry. Since most bikes have a vacuum operated petcock, you'll need to either remove & plug the vacuum line, or pinch it off with something (I use hemostats) until you run the fuel out.
I've done this for over 20 years. It works great!

A trick I do is once my lawn mowing is done for the year I run the mower till it dies and then leave it sit open to dry up for a day and then it's dry and clean to sit through winter in the shed.

I've never had a problem until ethanol was introduced. Draining fuel bowl doesn't work that great, rubber parts don't like ethanol.

This is not due to using a stabilizer. It is the nature of the fuel being hygroscopic and pulling in moisture from the air. Running it dry is also not recommended as then it is wide open for moisture to form. When covered with a quality treated fuel, with a quality stabilizer it protects all the metal components. Plus regardless of ethanol or non-ethanol fuel they all degrade which is the stabilizers main job to keep fuel fresh. The gunk in the bottom of the carb has 0 to do with a fuel stabilizer.

I'm so glad to know I'm not crazy that I've seen fuel stabilizers cause issues like that, especially when too much gets used.

I've used Stabil for 20+ years. I've never had that happen in any of my engines. Im still pleasantly surprised how easily the engines start in the spring.
Fuel stabilizer doesn't srop the fuel from evaporating. It needs to to be able to turn to vapor in order to burn. It keeps the fuel from going bad over the winter. Im still pleasantly surprised how easily the engines start every spring. I dont think you understand how they are supposed to work. Nothing will help if you let the engine set long enough for the fuel to evaporate out of the carb bowl.

Sea foam or startron. Use rec fuel only since the lifespan is 2 years

That is from the shit in ethanol added fuel... all small engines should use ethanol free only for that reason

How about this baldeagle......when I put my stuff into storage for winter, I just fill them with Aspen 2 or Aspen 4 as appropriate. Works every time. Thanks for the videos bruv.....always worth a watch.

Start and run your mower once every couple weeks over winter.
Save your money, don't buy trouble: stay AWAY from ALL fuel additives!
I've used THE SAME mower for over 15 years.
No trouble, never a suprise.
Start your mower over winter, saves headaches!!!

I agree! Engines are made to run not sit. I live in a cold climate and I run my lawn equipment once a month during the winter and have zero problems with fuel.

I top mine off with a gallon of 2 stroke mix, run the engine for a few minutes. Been doing it for 20 years, never had a problem in the spring.

I would just drain the fuel and the fuel shut off fails

Thats not stabilizer causing that.. thats what happens with ethanol in gas period. Stabil actually does help a little, but any regular pump gas will do this in 3-6mo almost guaranteed

Run it out of fuel, or put some of that pre-packaged shelf-stable fuel in at the end of the season. I've had good success with both methods.
The little diaphragm type carbs on 2 cycle equipment like chainsaws and weed whackers seem to do better with the canned fuel option because it keeps the diaphragms from getting dry and stiff.

when turning off. just cutoff fuel supply and allow it to burn everything in the carburettor, when start run ruff add little choke to burn every last drop of gasoline.
Thank me later. (i did that in a generator used once a year or two. after fifteen years runs/starts like in day of purchase.)

If you really want to use fuel stabalizer...only use it in the jerry can. It will settle out water and gunk, using a jerry is the only way.

At the end of mowing season i run the gas completely out before i store it away for the winter , when spring gets here i fill the gas check the oil and off i go . Been doing it that way for over 43 years and my mowers have never let me down π
