Anyone ever try Startron fuel stabilizer?

[Terry Hennessy]

I've recently tried startron stabilizer in my fuel. I'm adding 2 oz. to 5 gallons of 91 octane premium gasoline which also has 10% ethanol.
I have not noticed any difference in my saws at all. What say you folks?

So it is my understanding that it is not a "fuel improver", it is a stabilizer, which (helps prevent) degradation/ phase separation

Many 2t oils have a stabilizer already in them. I have access to E-free unleaded so I don't bother. I think fresh fuel and good storage practice works best. Ethanol attracting water is a game changer though for sure. PITA

Have been using Startron enzyme fuel treatment and Sea Foam in everything I run, for years. I usually buy 91 octane e-free for all my OPE, but sometimes have to settle for ethanol ridden gas. I just eyeball a good splash or two of each in either 2.5 or 5 gal cans of gas and shake. Probably over-treat with the splash or two I guesstimate with...doesn't hurt anything...haven't run across a fuel related issue in a few years at least.

OK, I did a Google yesterday on "gasoline phase separation" and found a Veeder-Root White Paper that explains that the ethanol mixes the water molecules into the gas, like it would in a mixed drink, but Phase Separation allows the water to separate and drop back out into large drops, where it will not burn... (I understand the Startron helps prevent this separation)

Jason, Starton is very good , Use it in my 500 gallon diesel tanks all time.
