Any one know a place to score a deal on the marine grade Sta-Bil to treat my "last ever" tankful of E-10.

There aren't any additives that can really do much to help prevent the actual potential problems with E10. The labels like to make you think they can, but like many other types of advertising , fuel additive claims can be a little misleading.

I went through problems from ethanol fuel and after a bunch of diging I just use the stuff my motor manufacture sells. No warranty issues!! I would do the same with that big E-tec. Personally I think Sta-bil has a big marketing budget and isn't what it's cracked up to be. Kris

If it's your "last ever tank" why do you feel you need it? Because like an idiot, I topped off my tank with that E-10 crap on the last trip. Tried unsuccessfully to siphon it onto my truck and I have no place to store it. Gonna be a while before it all gets burnt so I figured I'll treat what's left. Also be nice to have a supply in case I have to fill somewhere where E-0 is unavailable. Neah Bay and Buoy 10 come to mind.

I've ran mine with the stabill for a couple years now and have noticed minor improvments... The cold weather is when things get worse... The hot summer days, the big motor seems to purr a little better....

In fresh E10 Stabil will do nothing, the only thing it will, or can do, is keep your fuel fresh longer, the same thing it does for non E fuel.
It does have some corrosion preventing ingredients, but for the most part these are cheap solvents and various types of oil.

Doc:
Walmart in Aberdeen has the Marine grade Stabil........
OR EBAY, Has 15 different sellers for the Marine Grade Sta-bil....some with free shipping......and of course "no sales tax".......
but like you, I'll be buying my boat gas in South Aberdeen......costs more, but well worth it......Takes a MASCO credit card, phone number 360 532-9380, to have the application sent to you.
