[QUOTE="Abercrombie FJR, post: 1206133, member: 17489"] I work as a firefighter on a department that is equipped with well over 100 small engines like chain saws, rescue tools, boat motors, generators, pumps and much more. We were constantly having carburetor problems on these engines that may only have been started once a month or more. About seven years ago I was tasked with studying how to prevent gas related problems and coming up with a solution. I spoke to many professionals in the small engine field, along with representatives from Stabil and Seafoam. After gathering this information we decided to switch from Stabil to Seafoam added to a non oxygenated. This change was made along with insuring that all fuel is removed from seldom used engines one a year and replaced with fresh Seafoam treated gas. Stabil guaranties 1 year gas life compared to Seafoam's 2 year gas guaranty with the added benefit of cleaning up lightly fouled carburetors. I think we have experienced a drastic reduction in fuel related small engine problems since switching to Seafoam and non Oxygenated fuels. [/QUOTE]
