Any experience, anyone? http://www.goldeagle.com/brands/stabil/default.aspx Well i don't use any form of stabil in any of my small engine products and they all start on the first or second pull each spring. I was even surprised myself the kohler on the troy bilt actually started on the FIRST pull and it was left out in the garden all winter. I leave all tanks full when stored. -- Steve Barker remove the "not" from my address to email |

What's not to like? Ethanol causes infidelity, divorces, bar
fights, impotence, violent rages, DWI confictions, unemployment, and birth defects in children. It's as dangerous as dihydrogen monoxide. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org ..

Makes plenty of sense if part is plastic and warped by the higher solvent properties of ethanol in gas. I remember when ethanol was mandated in all stations around here and they had to close down for several days to clean out their tanks. Otherwise residues in the tanks would have been dissolved by the ethanol containing gas and ended up clogging car engines. |

I have no idea what a Lunesta commercial is. Maybe I heard
it in my sleep. and the memory surfaced? My sense is that ethanol is a loser. Has to be planted, harvested, and then distilled. Uses more energy than it delivers. Just my guess. -- Christopher A.
