Did a search and surprisingly did not find much. Guess there are not many that drive in the salt belt and store their cars for the winter.
Anyways, seeing that I drive in the area with the highest winter salt use in the world, my nice car (the BMW) gets stored for the winter, usually for about 5 months.
What fuel stabilisers do people use and have good results? I always store the car with ethanol free gas (Shell 91 here in Ontario), I usually use the Sta-Bil brand fuel stabiliser, but last year I used Seafoam in the tank, as it says on the bottle that it will stabilise fuel for up to two years. Turns out it really does not. Took the car out of storage and was getting bad misfires. While driving at slow highway speed, the engine would miss every 20 or 30 s, bad enough it felt like all the brakes locked on for a split second. Car had a full tank so had to drive some before I could put fresh gas in. Put a 100 km on it and filled it up again. Miss completely went away. Drove it down to near empty, and after filling it completely up again with fresh gas, the engine really came back to life.
Guess I am going back to Sta-bil.
What say the hive?
