Comments on: Top Five STA-BIL Product Myths Debunked https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/top-five-sta-bil-product-myths-debunked/ Thu, 12 Aug 2021 21:05:53 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.8 By: nk https://www.goldeagle.com/tips-tools/top-five-sta-bil-product-myths-debunked/#comment-841792 Thu, 12 Aug 2021 21:05:53 +0000 https://www.goldeagle.com/post/top-five-sta-bil-product-myths-debunked/#comment-841792 QUESTION: does the octane number INCREASE in stored gasoline?
The more volatile fractions (ie butane) in gasoline will evaporate faster than the heavier ones; so would this mean an 87 regular gasoline would eventually become a 93 premium gasoline after several months/year?

Ever since I used stabil360 in my wifes 2005 chrysler crossfire the car emits a strange exhaust smell that I can only describe as melting plastic. The car never did this before. Any thoughts or have you had others describe this? Thank you

I happened across this Q/A exchange at:
https://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/44961/how-does-fuel-stabilizer-work-chemically

Q: How does fuel stabilizer work chemically?

A: The fuel stabilizer actually separates from the gasoline after you let it sit for a while and forms a film on top separating the air from the gas, preventing the gas from oxidizing and picking up moisture from the air.

Fuel specific treatments are much safer than those so called “super all fuel ” additives that smell as if they contain acetone.
I add the treatment to the gas/Diesel can before going to get fuel, and only fill my containers when the additive has been added before hand so no untreated fuel is stored.
I use ounce of Sta-Bil to 1 gallon of 2-cycle mixed fuel and have never had a fuel issue, maintained reliable starts in all weather, and fuel components, such as fuel lines do not become brittle after 1 year of use.

Heat shouldn’t have that effect on any of our stabilizers.

Now it won’t start and the repair guy told her that the sta-bil turned gunky (technical term) and he can’t find parts to repair the motor. Is this true? Does the heat turn the sta-bil into gunky gel?

If you used our Red Storage product it should keep fuel fresh for up to two years. Our Amber 360 will keep it fresh for up to 12 months.

How long will my gas be protected?

Yes, there’ll be no problems even if you still use the gas
