Re: Starting issue

I think the stabilizer just keeps the ethanol from degrading as fast. Air as in a well vented system seems to be the main reason it goes bad in a hurry though.

I don't think the stabilizer has any effect on what it does to older carb, or fuel pump parts or hoses that aren't specifically made for it.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
