Hi Scotty, I believe the colors are a throwback from the old aviation days, when octane was critical in aircraft engines. Red=80, Blue=100, Green=115, Purple=145 and jet fuel was clear. A pilot would know immediately if the wrong type was pumped into the fuel tanks or if there was water in the fuel. Great videos!!

@lospanchos68 5 лет назад

Everything you said is 100% correct but you forgot to mention you can find a fuel station that sells non-ethonal fuel and then add stabile which is a lot less likely to attract water ( I know all fuel attracts water especially diesel and ethonal fuel ) and it doesn’t gel up like ethonal fuel. This is what I use in all my quads, mx bikes and small engine equipment I have at my house. Non-ethonal cost more but you have less chance of it gumming up, also when you clear your carbs of fuel it can dry out seals and the plunger so don’t forget to start up every so often.

@THOMMGB 5 лет назад

I appreciate what you're telling all of us, but my experience with old gasoline was different. My Mom's 1991 Nissan Pathfinder sat in the heat and snow in Carson City, NV for 4 1/2 years with a little less than 1/4 tank of gas. There was no fuel stabilizer in the tank. Two of the tires were so cracked that they wouldn't hold air. Everyone said to drain out the gas tank and clean it out. But much to my surprise, it started right up. I noticed it did run a bit rough. I filled it with premium and drove it back to Los Angeles where it passed the California smog test. That was back in 2006. I never cleaned out gas tank and am using the same fuel pump. It's still running very well in November, 2018.

@lawpenner Год назад

Do you think the gas in the tank was non ethanol or with ethanol? Makes a big difference for fas that sits. Spoils much quicker with the Ethanol pulling water in

Storage temperature is a factor too.

@dylanakent 6 лет назад

Scotty! You saved me! We have an early 2000s Buick LeSabre. Used to be driven all the time but now it's a secondary car. Every time we took it out and drove it more than 50 miles or took it on a shopping trip where we'd make plenty of stops/park/start it agains - on the trip home it wouldn't backfire but the car would start to feel weird. I'd be driving along and it would feel like someone took a baseball bat and hit me right under my seat. We knew it was the gas but we didn't know exactly what was wrong. I took it to several mechanics and they'd just shrug. Sometimes we'd get a lot of white smoke coming out of the back until I ran the car about 5-10 minutes as well. Once you explained that the alcohol was evaporating or getting corrupted it all made sense. THIS TIME I put fresh gas in the car before we went on our big shopping trip and it drove back and forth like a dream. I bought the Stabil and now I'm going to put that in every time I fill up and let the car sit for a bit. Thanks again! You're a genius!

Great advice Scotty. If you are going to store your vehicle for an extended period of time (over 3 months) Several mechanics I've spoken with also recommend that you use the STA-BIL and fill up your gas tank with NON-ETHANOL gasoline. It costs a little more than regular gas with ethanol, but it lasts a LOT longer without breaking down or attracting water in your gas tank. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Thankfully I'm near the "County Line" where, if I cross it, Premium Non-Ethanol Gasoline is frequently available... Been meaning to do the same combo for Winter 2023-2024. Just for added precaution. Noticed some Short/Long Term tests of several Stabilizers on RU-vid recently and looks like Sta-bil 360 (Geared for treating Regular/Daily Driver Type Equipment that uses Ethanol Blended Fuels for up to 12 months) and various other Stabilizers were able to work as advertised keeping the E10 Regular 87 Octane from becoming a gummy corroded mess when stored for "Winter" (say 5 months). 360 was also the last Stabilizer Additive still standing (lost to an Engineered No Ethanol Fuel which didn't show any fuel breakdown) after 19 months of starting/exercising the engine and fuel. 360 did show degraded fuel but it had also exceeded its stated treatment period and was still performing better then others... Some/Many of the Stabilizers claimed up to 24 month treatment but after just 5 months some weren't even able to do better then Regular E10 without any additives (which during those tests did surprisingly well both long and short term.) As he mentioned... if you know it's going to sit for an extended time giving it a Shot of Stabilizer, draining, or "topping off" with fresh(er) fuel is a good idea. Protect the fuel system and keep it ready for "Spring"/"Winter". Since this Video went online Sta-bil Storage has gone to a 24 month treatment level (vs 12).

@mph5896 6 лет назад

I would try to source ethanol free fuel if you wanted to store it for an extended period. Its sold as Boat Fuel, or Recreation fuel. Add stabil to that.

@mph5896 6 лет назад

Also you ever try to store gas in a sealed container? When the temp changes the can can really expand, like the side walls are ready to blow of the gas tank. Or sucked in.

@rugerscout308 5 лет назад

Just my two cents here. I'm 67 years old and remember the gas lines of the early 1970's very well. It took the government a couple of months to get the odd even plate number system working. That was in order to make the gas hoarders, which were mostly the cause of the lines, to stop constantly keeping their tanks full. Whether there really was a gas shortage or not is beside the point. If you needed gas at that time, chances are, you waited in long lines for it. Ever since those days I make it a point to keep 100 gallons of gas in a garden shed in 5 gallon cans just like the one Scotty showed in this video. I put 3oz of Sea Foam fuel stabilizer in each can and fill my Jeep up (my other cars is a VW diesel) out of this stock. It takes about six months to rotate through this supply but sometimes I screw up and find a year old can of gas or even older and never have I had a problem with the gas not burning ok. I use this in my small engine stuff as well. I agree we don't need ethanol in gasoline but since we can't make the stuff we have to deal with the reality of the situation. In short todays gas is a very good product and if treated has a very long shelf life.

Some QT's and Circle K's has ethanol free gas.

@Sebastian.12 5 лет назад

m ph Is it okay to use a 3 months old, premium gasoline? It’s 95 octane with 10% ethanol.. because i forgot to put fuel stabilizer. I’m worried 😢😞😪

@CrucialMuzic 6 лет назад

Well I was thinking if I had the car sit for too long (and gas tank wasn't completely full) because I was a "bad boy" then I would just have a friend drive me to the gas station and I'd fill up my gas tub and bring it back to fill up my car! But since I'm a "good boy", I shouldn't have to worry about that, Scotty :P

@ianmcteer7711 6 лет назад

Thanks Scotty, very informative. Not just cars and motorcycles, but other small engines are affected by old gas. I run my lawn mower and tiller dry rather than leaving them with even treated gas overwinter. I have a gasoline generator for emergency power but left it too long with a full tank of treated gas. When I needed it, of course it wouldn’t start! Fuel line to the gas cock was full of gunky slime. Now I leave it dry of gas and keep rotating-out a gas can filled with treated gas every six months.

Thanks for this. I've been wondering about this. I started working from my home a few months ago, and now my car is only getting driven less than ten miles a week. I think the last time I fueled up was back in May.

Nice voice. Sounds like your throat needs a stabilizer! Luv the advice. Follow it for my generators also.

@x-man5056 6 лет назад

I always use Stabil in my lawn equipment gas. Even when I'm using them regularly in the summer. This way I know it's good for long down time intervals and over the winter. When spring comes, I charge the batteries and they start right back up like the last time used. Cheap insurance against varnish cause by deteriorated gas.

David Miletic- Laugh now. It will brake down at worst possible moment.

@davidmiletic6647 6 лет назад

X-Man It was bought in 72, it is not qualufied for the 'worst' moment... at one point it stood in place outside for about 25 whole years without being touched and it still works... Now when I think about it, we used to have a Ford Sierra that stood for about 10 years and it fired up like nothing and we drove it for another 10 years without problems, before we sold it. Similar story with my Saab. Do you live in USA? Maybe we have purer petrol in Europe.

@J_J1711 6 лет назад

I have a sports car that I do not drive in the winter and will be sure to get some stabilizer for this upcoming year. Thanks for the great and fun videos Scotty.
