ratings of fuel stabilizers
Are there any published ratings of fuel stablizers & ethanol remedy products other than the ones that tout certain products?

Saw this at one site: http://www.fuel-testers.com/review_g..._products.html Presence of ethanol complicates the product as it adds a separation problem. Otherwise I would expect antioxidants and metal sequestering agents to be the main ingredients. |

The good news: If e10 gasoline is stored in an ***totally air-tight*** can it will stay fresh for at least a year. The bad news: Those crappy plastic gas cans they sell at Walfart are prolly not air-tight. I've had good luck with this brand: http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-U2-51-S-.../dp/B000BQO15I |

Per Ben Berndt:
I've had good luck with this brand: http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-U2-51-S-.../dp/B000BQO15I Looks like a very functional nozzle. I am using these things: http://tinyurl.com/klru389 with this nozzle: http://tinyurl.com/ldw97dn $28 + $45 = $73... about the same price. My nozzle is "OK", but your nozzle looks superior. A better nozzle for mine (that I was unaware of when I ordered my cans) looks to be: http://www.dasmule.com/metal-nato-jerry-can-nozzle/, but now the price is twelve bucks more... The good part, though, is that with mine the nozzle is not bundled. I can have five cans at $45 each and one more nozzle that looks as functional as yours at $40... OTOH, I would also give yours more points for ergonomics when pouring. Not a lot of points, but some.... -- Pete Cresswell |
