It is difficult to drain all of the fuel from equipment before storage, and doing so would expose the system to other problems, including the formation of rust and corrosion on bare metal in the tank and fuel system and the drying and cracking of gaskets and seals. Some fuels are pre-treated with oxidation inhibitors that allow them to be stored for short periods without forming excessive deposits, while other fuels have no inhibitors at all.

AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizerast (AST) reduces the oxidation process that occurs when fuel is stored for extended periods. It is formulated to prevent the formation of varnish and sludge which can clog injectors, stick floats and cause poor engine performance. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer is ideal for stored seasonal equipment such as motorcycles, snowmobiles, lawnmowers and boats. The treat rate is one ounce with every 2.5 gallons of fuel. One bottle treats 40 gallons.
