ratings of fuel stabilizers
 

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

Not easy to figure out and all contain proprietary ingredients.

Saw this at one site:

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.

BHT is a very common component of many "fuel stabilizers" in the
past.

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:

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....
