Do not hesitate to use it for winter storage. One Ounce treats 2.5 Gallons of Gasoline.

I have used this stuff for a number of years and it works quite well, especially with these engines that are not all that finiky about gasoline in the 1st place. Carb dry or full, they start right up in the spring.

does the stabil have any effect on the lead added we use?

The label explains it is compatable gasoline used with all 4 cycle, 2 cycle engines and Diesel fuels. There is no lead in the additives, it is done by the chemistry of combustion which causes the ingredients to coat the valves and approximate what the lead normally does.

Joel, I understand that but, I have to add a lead added to my fuel because of the new blend of gas, I'am wondering if the stabil has any effect on the added that I put in???

I will go out and get my Stabil jug and look. There may be aan 800 number on it, and you can always do a google, on Stabil. I use CD-2 Lead Substitute, and the truck does just fine after the winter hibernation with CD-2 and Stabil. BTW, CCKW GMC 270s have hardened exhaust valve seats from the factory.

Information can be found here.

I put this in every internal combustion engine that I own that does not go through a tank of gas in 2 weeks. I buy the stuff by the case.

It is far cheaper in labor and parts than rebuilding and cleaning the fuel system of varnish after a couple of months.

It is an excellent investment.

Good stuff Joel!! I also like to put a little Marvel Mystery Oil in with all of the above . I did have trouble with sticking valves And that #@$^* Zenith carb. MM Oil been around since 1923.
