Does anyone out there know how fuel conditioner works? I have a sled that holds 35 gallons of gas. Whenever I fill up, sometimes I have fuel conditioner with me, sometimes I don't. In the middle of the season, I don't worry about adding conditioner, in between seasons, I try to make sure that I have conditioner in the gas. This means that I have some variable amount of the conditioner in there, either more, or more likely, less than the recommended amount per gallon of gas.

So, my question is, if you have less than the recommended amount per gallon, does one get partial protection, reasonable protection, no protection? If I put less than the recommended amount in, am I just throwing money away? If I put too much in, am I putting the boat at risk?

I use the Mercury Fuel Stabilizer, not just the water absorber stuff.
