P700 Gas treatment

[Ekimdoog]

Which fuel stabilizer are folks using in 2022 700-4?

I originally used Stabil but saw some bad internet feedback. The carbed dual sport motorcycle guys use Seafoam and that's what I've used for the last several years, including gas for the lawnmower and snowblower.

I've seen test show the seafoam allows more oxidation, draws more water and makes the fuel slighlty less flammable than Stabil.

Using stabil in my Honda mower has always allowed it to start 1st pull after sitting all winter.

But just like the best oil debate, to each their own.

Follow the directions, adding more than necessary could cause problems.

Don't buy the Honda stuff, it's literally Stabil for twice the price. Even says so on the bottle.

I use star tron in all my stuff. Pioneer, tractor, boat, lawn mower, chain saws. Never have an issue using regular gas with ethanol

I never bother with stabil. Gas will get stale when left in small amounts in a higher temperature.

Like a snowblower sitting in a steel shed over the summer, not when you have 9 gallons in a tank over the winter.

If you can get it use non ethanol gas. Then you don't have to use stabilizer. And it's 89-90 octane and is good up to 6 months. When you figure in the cost of stabilizer non ethanol should not be that much more without the hassle.

Yea but the Pioneer only has a 7.9 gallon tank......

stabil in everything . tried seafoam for a while and went back to stabil

Why are you letting fuel sit in your tank? Ride it! 😆

Seriously, winter or long term storage for my boat, generators, bikes, and all my small engine powered machines get Stabilized.

The Pioneer never fails to disappoint.

That what my blower does, and I've never had a problem.

Yamaha Ring Free added to fresh, non-ethanol, high octane fuel. My bike sits for long periods of time with zero fuel problems.

This ^^^^^^

And especially with all small engines (chainsaws, mowers, generators etc.) and carburated machines.
I'm done with rebuildling or replacing carbs due to ethanol.
Here's what they look like gummed up.

Ok…. Here goes. From my experience the grey hairs and the no hairs (old people) use stabilizer and the young less experienced don’t. Stabilizer is like insurance except when everything works you don’t even know you used the insurance. If you don’t use stabilizer it’s only a matter of time ( see the picture above). So those who don’t believe in stabilizer….. well good luck and start looking up websites on how to clean small carbs.
Hahaha You don’t have to tell me I’m right because I know already.
Good luck. Have fun.
I think I’ll go electric and not have too worry anymore about bad gas.
(that was a joke)

Non ethanol and stabil in everything for years and no problems.
