| Alright, I tried searching but didn't come up with anything. What type of fuel stabilizer do you all recommend for gasoline storage in plastic and metal blitz cans? Thanks in advance. |

Sea foam. Great stuff!!! www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpConsumer.htm |

It is and some of the autoparts carry it too but not all of them. Pepboys does here. I use the PRI lead substitute in pre-73 cars. The company sure know their stuff from my experience. If you are rotating regular, IMHO, the Stabil works fine and btw is recommended by Mercury Marine. Tj |
I'm sure you can but it won't do you any good since the 2 cycle oil is worse than the gas for fouling with age. Yeah, I have a bunch of small 2 cycles too and wish there was a way to keep gas in there without having it foul up.  Tj |
Depends on how much you put in. If you double the amount of sta-bil you add to a container, you can go for a longer period of time. I use the recommended min amounts and rotate twice a year. Whether its surplus gas cans or brand new blitz, it doesn't really matter to the stabilizer... just so long as the storage container is sealed. I also use de-oxygenated 92 octane fuel in my cans. 1) lasts longer than ethanol blends and 2) absorbs water less readily. Sta-bil and seafoam are both good products... use what ever you want. sta-bil is cheaper where I shop. I got 4 bottles of 32oz sta-bil for $4.99 last spring on sale with a coupon. |

PRI-G has worked fine for me and have had no problems with two year old gas. I do rotate my stash every summer to keep a fresh supply. Summer gas is always the best to stash as it is better quality so it works in warm weather.I have used cans that were over two years old in chainsaws,ATV's and cars with no noticeable problems. I have had occasion to have to contact the company to check on its meeting certain critical standards and have always received prompt detailed factual info from them. PRI-D works great for diesel. Many 2 cycle oils come with a fuel stabilizer. Both the Craftsman Synthetic and Poulan 2 cycle oil I have in the shed say they have fuel stabilizer included in their formula. Red |
