So Jon...can I still use Stabil? Or should I run the engine dry? I live on the Gulf Coast in Texas...and it gets real humid down here.
I hate to drain the tractors as I only start some of them every once in awhile. I do run them with the sediment bowl valve turned off till they quit when I store them.
Thanks loads.....

Hey Bill,
Where at in So. Texas are you living? I grew up in Corpus Christi. You're right about the fuel, I live/was living in Clovis NM prior to leaving for Korea. I ran my weedeater, chain saw, and anything else I could out of fuel prior to storing them. Whatever it is they are putting in the fuel, you don't want to store in your equipment very long. Seems like it really gums up the works. I've got my father's old chain saw (doesn't run at this time) and drained the fuel out of it prior to leaving last September.

Take care and good luck.
Jim

In LaPorte Crusader.
Spent 23 years in the Army too. Retired in 84.
Good luck over there. Keep your powder dry and cover your 6.

Hey Bill,
If memory serves me correct, LaPorte is in the Houston, Port Lavaca, area. I have cousins that work in that area along with another cousin on the Victoria Police Force.

Here at Kunsan we have a few Army personnel. Sure is nice to have them here. I went in the AF in Sep. 85, and will do my last year at Dyess after I leave here. Take care, and maybe we can meet up some time and drink a couple of cold ones.

Jim

Yup...LaPorte is east of Houston on the ship channel and the gulf. Port L. is south. Be careful over there.
God Bless you and all the troops over there.....

Bill 46,I would say go with the ethanol blend fuel. If you start getting enough condensation in the fuel to cause seperation,it will show up in the glass sediment bowl under the fuel tank of your old tractors. You will see a distinct line of gasoline floating on top of the water logged Ethanol,exactly like gasoline floating on top of pure water.
Can you use Sta-bil with ethanol blend gasoline?
I went to the FAQ page of the Sta-bil site to see if they thought it is OK. Here is a copy/paste fron the Sta-bil site.

"Is STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer safe to use with reformulated gas? Absolutely yes! "

The stabil site says reformulated gas is fine with Stabil and contains anticorrosion additives that should help prevent corrosion if any moisture gets mixed with the ethanol in your fuel.
