Prepare Equipment

Gasoline can break down in as little as 60 days, causing varnish and gums that clog injectors, fuel lines and carburetors, leading to poor engine performance and starting problems. In many applications, draining the fuel system can be impractical, and doing so can expose the system to corrosion on the bare metal in the tank and fuel system and cause gasket and seal cracking.

AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer reduces the oxidation that occurs when fuel is stored for extended periods, improving performance, extending equipment life and decreasing maintenance expenses.

Falls Coming

It’s rained all day today, about three to four inches, wind blowing and the leaves are falling. That sure feels like falls coming now. Well it’s time to start to think about getting ready for winter. AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer reduces the oxidation process and prevents varish and gum build-up in gasoline.

These contaminants can clog injectors, stick floats and cause poor engine performance. Treatment rate is one ounce with every 2.5 gallons of fuel. One 16 ounce bottle treats 40 gallons total. Gasoline starts to break-down after about a month, so if you leave gas in your mower through the winter, think about what it’s doing. Scrary thought.

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 Stabilizer (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.
