Default Fuel Stabilizers

Hey guys, there are more than one fuel stabilizers on the market. When I am asked a simple question about a problem I try to keep the answer simple and suggest a method or a product that we have used with success. The E10 (Ethanol) added to today's fuels may be treated with StaBil, SeaFoam, or Star Tron, all good products however Star Tron is reported to deal with the sediment left behind in fuel tanks on carts and carburetor tanks and we have seen good results in the past year.

When we take a cart in with these symptoms we usually remove the carb, disassemble it, remove all gaskets and soak the carb in an acid based solution. Depending on the amount of sediment we find sometimes we soak overnight. We than flush and assemble the carb, change the filters in the system, check fuel lines, and drain and clean the fuel tank. The products previously mentioned should prevent the need for this type of service if used regularly.
