Personally I highly recommend.

It is a great asset in the battle of minimal usage and long term storage engines and fuel systems. The local small airport sells 110 LLC low lead content at the card lock pump. Combine that stuff with fuel stabil and add to to you fuel tank for trouble free starting next spring or year or 4 years.

Works wonders in generators welders and water pumps but also great in tractor and car storage.

During my 9 year employment at a independent VW shop in greater Portland oregon metro area where DEQ testing is required to renew registration tags on your cars every two years, much of our work included the passing of those DEQ emission tests. The happiest customers were the ones who brought theirs cars in to us after trying other shops and spending thousands of dollars but still failing the DEQ test. We would ask if they ran cheap gas which of course they did. So we would ask customer to bring car back when it was quarter tank or lower. When they returned, we would pour in a 5 gal jug of 110 LLC and send them off to thier DEQ test which they would pass with flying colors. When customer would return with the passed test slip they would usually ask why no other shop ever asked about the quality of fuel in the tank.

Sorry, last story.
A customer knew he was leaving the country for a while so he asked us the pickle his daily driver 1958 VW bus in Hope that it would not cost too much to get it roadworthy when he returned. Fast forward 4 years later and he finally returned from his peace core trip to Africa. He anxiously tows bus from storage to have us check it. We install new battery, remove the stick holding clutch down to prevent sticking, and pull the spark plugs out to check the cylinders and valves which were still coated with marvel mystery oil. With spark plugs out, we cranked over engine with coil wire pulled to check for spark while continuing to crank til oil light went out. Spark plugs reinstalled and started up like it had just been run. After sitting over 4 years.
Just sharing my experiences.
