Seafoam

Does anyone swear by Seafoam for winter storage? Or is it crap and something else is way better? Or use nothing at all?

Just park it with a full tank of real gas then you don't need anything and it will start just fine in the spring. my lawnmower and weed-eater starts just fine in the spring and my 59 bug.

I fill my tanks full with non ethanol 91 octane and put Stabil in with it. Parked for full Minnesota winter and starts right up with no problem in the spring.

I take it that you are trying to avert water formation from condensation during winter.

Rubbing alcohol is a natural emulsifier of water and gasoline, pry cheaper too.

There's pics online with gas in mason jars and you can see the ethanol separate from the gas after sitting for a period of time. i believe i read somewhere that ethanol gas has a real short shelf life versus "real" gas.

Well thats great about the real gas, which i buy in a can for all my two stroke stuff, but here in MA its hard to come by at the pump. Guess i'll just fill it and add a little Stabil and some Lucas Ethanol Treatment.
