What do you think the longevity is of 5 gallons in the tank treated? Near as I can figure out Stabil doesn't put a number on it.
With 10% ethanol, the AF ratio has to run richer by .3 to .5 with blower on.
We used to be able to buy chevron in non ethanol in 87-89-91-94. As of summer 2017, non ethanol is only available in chevron 94... which is what I have used since 2011... in stang + lawnmower. I use 87 with its 10% ethanol... in my 2011 Fusion.
I see home depot sells conditioner, similar to sta-bil, that also cancels out the ethanol....used for lawn mowers, etc.... for folks that only have 10-15 % ethanol gas available.
Take a whiff of 0 / 10% ethanol lawnmower gasoline in the springtime... that was bought the previous aug/sept/oct...it has this god awful rancid smell to it.... dump it asap. So I either add stabil to last batch of lawnmower gas, when purchased, or pour it into stang.
I know a couple of guys who run yard maintenance business's.... both said ethanol fucks up everything they own. One switched to chevron 94.... the other used the home depot stuff.... comes out a wash either way. Problems solved.
Bad gas will fuck up injectors, carbs etc. Been there, done that...esp with 10% ethanol fuel. And there is no way to turn bad gas into good gas. The stabil should go in when gas bought new, maybe 1 month tops.
Shell's premium (91 octane I believe) here in Ontario is readily available and ethanol free, fortunately.It seems that every single gas station in my area all have 10% ethanol in all their fuel grades. Therefore I have no idea where to even find non-ethanol fuel, so I'm at a bit of a loss when some of you post that you run non-ethanol fuel lol.

They have an app as well if you need to find it "on the go" when not near home.
