What fuel stablizer seems to work the best or is your favorite?

[Maxx1]

Someone at work was raving about that Seafoam, but I haven't tried it. I've used that red stuff ... Stabil I think is what it's called. I figure my car will set for 4-5 months over the winter.

Any recommendations?

I thought Seafoam was a fuel system cleaner?

Seafoam is magic.

It has done a great job as a stabilizer for my bikes in the very long winter.

1oz per gallon and you are gold.

I used to use that but it is impossible to find anywhere in these parts anymore...

I like the Seafoam product. I agree it's magic, I've used it in almost everything I drive.

anyone "fogging your cylinders" for the winter hibernation ? it's so humid here I wonder if there is any bad side effects by using a marine product for extra protection.

The refineries, by law, have to supply gasoline with a higher Reid vapor pressure in the warm months, starting in the spring, to cut down on smog. The additives that do this are the ones that go bad over the winter.
So, if you have "summer blend" gas in your fuel tank then you will need to stabilize it to keep it from going sour.
I don't put my car away until early November so I put "winter blend" in it. I've never added stabilizer and never had an issue in the spring with sour gas.

I use Fitch fuel catalyst in my cars and my bike. The bike sits for about 5 months and I have never had a problem with gas. You simply put one in the tank and never have to add stabilizer again. Google it and read about it I have used them for about 5 years and the one in my bike still works.

I used to use Stabil in my motorcycles. Others swear by Seafoam. Now I live in California.

I did that for my bikes. But even with fairings it's usually pretty easy to pull the plugs and squirt in a few cc's of oil through a syringe and some tubing.

I use Stabil Marine as we have 10% Ethanol gas here. Never tired Seafoam but I thought that was more of a cleaner vs stabilizer.

+1 on StaBil.
They also make an excellent cylinder lubricant aerosol that you can into the spark plug sockets to coat cylinders over the winter months.
