Hi Dale, the information was really helpful for me. However you never mentioned the possibility of rodent attacks while storing the car long during winter. Can you recommend on how to avoid it?. Thanks!

In reply to Cathy. Hello, thank you for your message. No, overtreatment with STA-BIL will not damage your engine / generator. However, we do recommend sticking to the proper dose of 1 oz. per 2.5 gallons of fuel.

I put too much Stabil in my rv van and used the generator for 5 -7 minutes. Will adding about 7 oz too much ruin my engine and generator?

In reply to Peter.

Hi. Yes, it is actually recommended to stabilize your fuel as soon as it is pumped. This will ensure that you keep the fuel as fresh as possible during storage and/or infrequent use. Typically, fuel starts to oxidize (go stale) in as little as 30 days. If the 6 month-old fuel cannot be utilized or drained as soon as possible, then adding STA-BIL® at this point will help in keeping it from deteriorating any further. Hope this helps. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at producttechsupport@goldeagle.com. Thanks for the question!

Do you really need to put fuel stabilizer if it’s less then 6 month ?

Really nice and useful article as it addresses the difficulties faced by a person during the winter car storage and I completely agree that the battery of the car should be disconnected from the electrical system prior to storing it. Besides, the condition of different components of the vehicle should be subjected to an inspection and the inspection should be done by experienced professionals to spot and fix the mechanically abnormal components. Besides, a car needs to be properly washed prior to the storage.
