Has anybody had any experience with this product? Any reason why I shouldn't do this?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
I've been using this product in mowers and tractors for few years now to preserve fuel during the winter.. So far, knock on wood, it has kept my mowers out of the shop for the springtime carb rebuild.. I don't know how it works, other than it seems to keep stale fuel from causing carb problems.. Nowdays I add some to the gas can each time I fill it to keep in the fuel year round.
One winter when I knew I wouldn't be driving the Civic for a couple of months, I added some to a tank of gas.. Not sure if it was necessary but it certainly didn't hurt it..
