A lot like some of you other guys, I dont drive my car in the winter either. I havent put any fuel stuff in my tank previous years but I'll probably put some kind of stabilizer in it. What do you guys think of this stuff?

I've got this Lucas stuff designed for Ethanol containing fuels. I use it in my gas can for my pressure washer.

I use that stuff every year in my car! I have no idea if it works or not but I haven't had any problems yet. I fill my tank to the very top with Premium and then dump a bottle of that in right before I say goodbye to the car for 6 months. In the spring, the car starts up with no issues. Some people dont like to fill their tanks up because they say gas goes bad but with that stuff, I think it does a good job in keeping the gas fresh. Only having a partial tank filled means you take the risk of having condensation form in the tank, which will be bad in the spring.

You're right on the money, Visionz. Modern gas may be okay to sit for 6 months but sta-bill will 99.999% sure be ok for 6 months, and a tank with air space is asking for wet gas in the spring.
