I know it is pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new series online ?
@@oakleychandler3697 Wow, sure is!
I'll check that out Steve, but can you recommend where to dispose of it?
Thanks Steve! Single Mom taking on winterizing the lawnmower. Picked up some sta-bil. Now I know how to use it and why.
I take 2 shots of Sta-bil every day I do not age at all. Great product!
Haaaa
I mix it with my koolaid
😧
Too late for me. I've already gone stale!
Stabil: does NOT contain alcohol.
Steve: DOES contain alcohol.
Haha nice video steve.
Right on...
how many squeezes does Steve need to run correctly?
Buuuuuuuuurp!!!!! 😎😎
Steve has been "Winterised!"
1 bottle wouldnt make a lot of difference lol
Just started looking into fixing and maintaining my small engines, and your page is a gold mine! Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Great information! I've also used Sta-bil for the last 20+ years and have had no issues. This stuff works!
I agree!
I've been using this for years for winterizing my riding lawn mower. I've had the same cheap green MTD riding lawn mower sense 2010. Every year I put a strong mix (more than recommended) in the gas tank and let the engine run on it for the last strip of grass around the shed. Come springtime, I put the battery in (pulled and stored in garage) and crank it over. Only time I had issues with it, was when I was deployed, and my wife didn't winterize it. I would also like to note that each spring I change the oil, clean the air filter, check the spark plug, and grease the blade bearing. Take care of your machine and they will take care of you.
Would you leave gas in the tank or run it dry? And thank you for your service!
@@craighellberg4366 Leaving a full tank of gas with a stabilizer will prevent moisture in the air that's left in thank to mix with the fuel and cause problems. Leaving it completely dry would dry out the rubber seal to the distributor cap. Also, it does help to run the engine a few times during the winter to keep things moving and oiled.
I had to work as an expatriate for 3 years, plus the time that took me to settle down, all my yard equipment, motorcycles and a truck were in storage, as soon as I get them back they started at the first quick. Great product.
Sta-Bil works.
After a winter of living outside, a half tank of fuel was absolutely fine using Sta-Bil 360 @ 1.6 ml per liter. 16ml in a 10 liter can.
The previous 2 winters, the fuel had water in it, because of Ethanol separation and I had to drain and clean the whole system.
Thanks Steve.
Right on
My mechanic friend recommends I use Sta-Bil Blue 360 that is for marine use. He said use this Blue Sta-Bil Blue in all my gas - boat, tractor, mowers, 2- cycles, etc. as it keeps all the rubber seals, lines, etc. from deteriorating.
l love your channel, you have taught me much in keeping my equipment running. Thanks!
Stabil is the greatest stuff for your fuel. Use it all year round, not just for winter gas. I have used this for many years without any issues with dried out carbs or seals. My advice, for what it is worth, when storing summer equipment make sure the gas tank is full and the engine was run for a few minutes before putting it away for winter. In spring you will find that the equipment will start without any effort. For your winter fuel, again, use Stabil when you fill the gas container. Do it every time and you will have no problems with gas going stale. Love your vid's, Steve, keep them coming. I may be a bit mental but, I run my winter equipment every month during the summer and don't wait until my nuts are freezing to see if it will start when the snow starts to fly. Same with my standby generator. Stabil in every piece of equipment with an engine and you will see the difference. At eighty-five, I don't have a lot of time to faff about with stuff not working. Prevention is the key. Look after your equipment and it will pay dividends.
Right on
I only use ethanol free fuel (94 at chevron here on Vancouver island) and I add fuel stabilizer right away then again when I mix my 50:1. I only run this way. Run the engine at least once every two months. Works for me.
being a small and large engine mechanic i know a lot of stuff you teach, i could watch your vids every day. keeps me sharp. thanks steve
Heck yea !!!!!!
In my little Echo CS5000 chainsaw, I had not used for a little over 3 years, but it had non-ethanol fuel treated with Sta-bil…. Started on the 3rd pull and ran great. I can’t recommend Stabil enough. Great video Steve!
Thanks for sharing
I use it in the gas tank of my Husqvarna riding tractor and have never had an issue with my mower not starting. I use engineered gas in my 2 cycle equipment. I put it in towards the end of the year, maybe use it once or twice, and then store it. It's too expensive for me to use all the time, but if your using the equipment regularly, you don't need it. Goo info Steve, thanks, John, Indiana, USA
Right on
I use Stabil in the ethanol free gas that I buy for my small engines/lawn tractor.
I've been using Sta Bil for years I stand by it . When I am done using like the blower or weed eater I either run it out until it runs out of fuel or I pour it out of the tank to store over the winter. Then when spring and summer comes I put fresh fuel in it I don't use ethanol or if I do I put Sta Bil 360 works great.👍🙂
Right on
I buy 5 gallons of fuel at a time, and then I add the Sta-Bil. Then, if I need pre-mixed fuel, I use part of the 5 gallons of treated fuel to make up my 1 gallon cans....I run 32:1, 40:1, and 50:1, all in their own clearly marked cans. It's a simple system. Thanks for putting out this content Steve, and Thanks to Sta-Bil for making my life easier.
Right on
I do the same thing but run my power equipment at about 80:1 with Amsoil Saber to avoid having multiple mixes for different things. Just mix up 1 gallon at a time for the 2 strokes so it's always fresh.
I love this product and I use it year round. Just fill 5 gal can and add stabil when I get it home. That way I know I have right amt and I have had absolutely no problems since beginning to do this year round
I have been using this for years now. Every year I would have to take the bowl Off my carburetor on my rototiller and clean because I only use once a year. Now that I am using sta-bil I've never had any problems. I use it in everything now
Right on
I have used Sta-Bil in my gas storage container (Ethanol Free Fuel Only) for forever! I use the fuel in all my power equipment over multiple seasons and have never had an engine problem! None,
2yr old treated 2 stroke fuel in stihl ms170 chainsaw starts and runs perfect. 15hp honda back up generator, 3 plus yrs runs like a dream. Can't recommend this product highly enough 👍👍👍
Thank You...
If Steve says it's so then it is so. Thanks, Steve, for all the info you give.
Steve,
I've been using Stabil year round for the last 10 years in my small engines, 71 F250, boat, tractor etc. I've used it in a generator that gets fired up once a year for a week during hunting. It fires up on the 1st or 2nd pull every year. Regular pm and stabil have keep it running strong. I use their product in my boat that over the winter, will sit for 5/6 mos and it too fires right up in the spring. During carb rebuild this past spring on a 23 yr old carb it was very clean inside.
I believe it keeps the gas from turning to varnish and clogging up jets and other small passages in the carb/fuel system. With the regular pm I've not had any issues with fuel systems. Even in a 330 gal diesel tank for my standby genny, no issues with fuel or fuel systems. That fuel doesn't get ay movement unless I exercise the genny. (fuel return)
Thanks for doing this video. Just confirmed what I was already thinking and seeing. It's a great product keeping me from reparing stuff that was simply sitting, and saving $.
BTW, I've been watching many of your videos and like them. I just watched the Top 10 nasty comments one and was laughing my rear off. Still kills me that people can leave those kinds of comments. Didn't their mom teach em if they didn't have anything nice to say to SU?
Keep up the great videos. Check out a beer called Alagash Brewing Co out of Maine. Their Tripel is excellent!
Can I run my lawn mower right after mixing the stabilizer with the gas, or is this just the storage use only? Thanks for any help bro.
@@neilwilliams2947 Neil,
Yup, you can run it in the lawn mower right after. I add it to a 5 gal can of gas at the end of the season and run each item (chainsaw, tree saw, portable generator etc.) with a little of that in each tank until they run out of gas and they fire right up the next year. It works great for those things that sit unused or seasonal items that are only used part of the year.
Perfect info, I have a Honda Gen that we use to run life-saving medical equipment. We had big storms in Melbourne Australia and went to start the Generator and it wouldn't start. A thank you and I'm now going BCF store to buy some.
I always figured these stabilizer products were snake oil. But.....I went ahead and tried Sta-Bil one day and really liked it. I use it in my farm tractors, lawnmowers, rototiller, garden shredder etc. at the end of the year. Both two strokes AND four strokes. I know Steve recommends running a small engine dry but I don't. I add Sta-Bil to the tank and top it up, run it for a few minutes and put it in storage. I NEVER have trouble the following year.
Will Sta-Bil really last two years? I don't know. I assume I'm good for one year. Good product!
One more thing: once a bottle of Sta-Bil is opened it can go off after many months. You can smell the difference. I buy fresh fuel stabilizer every fall when I'm putting my equipment to bed.
I live in South Florida and get Hurricanes! I don't know if I will get a storm this year. My generator can use 10 gallon a day if I load it down. The power can be out for days if there is a hurricane. When there is a storm warning everyone is running to get fuel,bottle water, and other things! I get my things early. Hurricane runs from June 1st to November 30th. But there there has been many storms in May and all the way through the new year. So to be ready for all that time, then still be good, I must use Fuel Stabilizer!
I've used Sta- Bil and non ethanol gas in my small engines year round for 25-30 years and NEVER had a problem. My Husqvarna 45 chainsaw sat for 2 years once and I pulled the cord 3 times and it cranked and ran on the same Sta-Bil treated gas that was in it. I'm using the same Husqvarna saw today. I tell everyone to use it, I highly recommend it. Great stuff!
Right on Jimmy!
I use it in everything but our daily drivers.Since l been using it in my small equipment, gen. Saws woodaplitter,blower etc.my classic vehicles work truck F-150,l have had no trouble at all.No more carb rebuilds on boat.THIS PRODUCT WORKS,Steve and everyone.
Thank You...
Steve, I’ve been using Sta-Bil for a long time. It works great in all my 2 stroke and 4 stroke equipment. I adopted a method that I no longer run the equipment dry and leave the stabilized fuel in the system. Like you, I put it in every tank. I have not had any issues with any of my winter or summer equipment. I am amazed how well my equipment starts when taken out of off season storage. As you say it’s a good practice to put it in every tank of gas at the time of purchase. If you wait the fuel begins to go stale and the end of the season is variable.
Great video, I've been using this stuff for 30+ years.
It does work as advertised. Thanks to Steve I use it all the time too.
Right on
PA LAWN GUY> Steve if you use just over twice the needed Stabilizer, or equivalent, it too will jell in the carb bowl after about 3 months. Have done that thinking more is better, but not true. We should stick with the recommended amount and for best results use ethanol free fuel. Infract, E/free is good by its self for 2 months here in PA.
I used to use this stuff. Now I am just more cognizant of how long I keep gas laying around in my Jerry cans. I try and have as quick a turnaround in my small engine equipment as possible. If I can't remember how long it's been in the can, it goes into my car.
When storing my gear for the winter (or my snowblower for the summer), the approach I now take is to run the engine dry of gasoline. Then pour some engineered fuel (i.e. Trufuel or equivalent) into tank. Start her back up to have all that high octane, ethanol-free goodness flowing through the carburetor. After a few moments, turn her off and store away. Now there's truly zero chance of stale, ethanol gas gumming up my engines.
Great video Steve, I've been using Stabill for the last 40years . never had to take a carb apart to clean it. I put 3oz. In 5 gallons of gas. Like you said, can't really put to much. I'm not advertising for Stabill, and they don't pay me. Just a great product!
Right on
I use one of the bottles to meter/measure the 2 cycle oil when I mix it.
Great idea ! I will be doing this
Once I started using only premium non ethanol gas 100% of the time and always treating it with STA-BIL all my problems with hard starting small engines went away. I have several chainsaws, weed eaters and generators and they all run when I need them even after setting unused sometimes for months.
Use Sta-bil for all my equipment. Works great and highly recommend it
Right on
Sta-Bil's products are excellent, I've been using it for over two decades.
Right on
Staying on topic Mr. Steve, your chainsaw videos are excellent as well. No (Red) Bull!
PA LAWN GUY> Steve I have seen fuel turn bad if to much Stabil is used. Therefore I only use what is recommended and that works great.
I LIKE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ,YOU ARE VERY SMART ON A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES ! MANY THANKS
I appreciate that!
I use sta-bil in every small engine I've got. It's amazing and I've never had a problem with starting them anytime of the year. Highly recommend to anyone
Right on
I use it year round in all my mowers blower and generator. Never have any issues
Right on
I use STA-BIL YEAR ROUND IN ALL MY SMALL ENGINES PERIOD, EVEN IN ALLMY REPAIR JOBS .
Same here. I have never had an issue with my small engines ever. I just pull everything out in the spring and they all start up and run perfectly. The stuff is truly worth its weight in gold.
That's how I've been doing at work for the past 6 or 7 years. Straight or mixed it gets sta-bil every time. It's so easy to do and you will always have equipment that starts and runs good.
Great Product- You will like it especially in the Spring on first re-start. NOTE-- they have a DIFFERENT product for DIESEL engines.
I use Sta BIl in all my small engine fuel but I drain the fuel for off season storage. The gas goes in the car, 2 stroke gas goes in the fire pit or I save a bit to use it as a solvent.
My grandpa used this stuff 20 years ago and the gas still works. I've used many gallons without a problem.
Steve, Canada is on my bucket list. I'll stop by with a six pack. Thanks for a great channel.
Right on Jon! You're Welcome...
I’ve been using Stab-ble for years, in the winter I put Heat in with it. Living in Vermont we need it year long. Best wishes
If I'm using 100% non-ethanol gas I never stabilize. Been doing this for years and all my equipment is still operating AND starts first pull or crank in the spring. Just saying Steve. I've been helped by many of your vids…thanks.
I've been using the STA-BIL Marine 360 for my "Yard Equipment" for wayyyy over 10 years. I go a little heavy with it, adding 1oz for 2 gallons of gas. It's kept by equipment running well without issues. I prefer the Marine 360 formula because of the high moisture when using my snowblower... AND the High Humidity in the summers in New England.
The only time that I drained the fuel tank of gas and then ran the Honda engine until It ran all of the gas out of the carb it would not start the next season. I had to take the carb apart and clean a jelly like substance out of one of the small fuel galleys so that the fuel could pass through! You can’t get ALL of the fuel out of the carb by running engine until it stops and the little bit that is still there then can harden up enough to stop fuel flow. I leave the fuel with sta-bil mix in it and have not had any problems starting my pressure washer since
Good advice. I started using Stabil a few years ago, never had any issues with storing the gas over the winter and gumming up.
Thank You...
Great video. I've just started using Stabil after I had fuel system troubles on a car I had not driven in two years. How stupid of me.
Had to suck out all the stale fuel, replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump (it failed) and flush the entire fuel system with fresh fuel and added STABIL this time !!
Fuel system is like new again.
FYI I started using fuel stabiliser (Briggs & Stratton Fuel Fit) last summer, I have been impressed with the performance of all my kit running on it, however having just watched this vid again and done the maths Sta Bil is half the cost of the B&S product.
Cheers Steve more beer money!
Thanks for sharing!
SOUTHERN INDIANA HERE: Hi Steve. Just want to say how much I enjoy your videos. You explain things very well…easy to understand.
Wow, thank you
Not only do you get water in the fuel in metal tanks, you also get a rusted tank leading to clogged filters and carbs.
"24 months = 2years! " that alone deserves a like 😂
Took me about 2 days to research that! LOL, Thanks for the thumbs up, Ben....
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Are you serious??
Marek Sumguy I almost had it they call it short memory loss I call it immediate memory loss
Maybe Canada has metric days or months? He lost me when he said he had to look up how many years equates to 24 months. Ouch.
Dang I didn't know this would involve math!!
Right on. I've been using Sta Bil brand for many years. If you get the concentrated marine version it takes very little. Just use it in every can.
The fuel stabilizer in the oil mix is enough to adjust for the amount of the oil only! That's why you still have to add it to the gas in the proper amount,
I love this channel! I work for a large outdoor equipment manufacturer and fuel is the biggest performance issue. Listen to the man! I use the Stabil marine grade or 360 stabilizer with every gallon of non-ethanol fuel I buy. It's better to be safe than sorry. Treat every gallon of pump gas you use and you'll never regret it.
Agreed!
I watched this video ,Again !!
I put it in right away when I buy gas and I put a piece of duct tape on the gas can with the date. I think with E10 fuel which we are stuck with here you're better off not using it longer than one year. The few times I've had trouble its been when I tried to get 2 years out of stabilized E10 gas.
I use it on my motorcycle for winter storage.
I must get some soon ! !Took the carb from Toyta 4stroke motor apart it was completly rused up in the float chamber, just like the fuel filter was full of what looked like red garde soiil To clean the float chamber I plced it in boiling water, while heating ajar of white vinegar in a microwave ended up at 90 degree centigrade. I then dropped the heated float chamber nto the hot vinegar - let things bubble away for 30 mins and then the bowl was bright and shing inside and out.
Steve, you might mention to take that small cap off when you are done so it drains back to the main bottle because if you don't it will act like a barometer and leak out the top all over your storage area.
Great tip
Another great video. Heck.... I'm thrilled just to now know how to use the little side measuring device. Never knew how to use that. Ha, ha. I'm an idiot.................
I also have used Sta-bil in my fuel. It does work well. Thanks for this video.
You're Welcome...
I use stablil storage combined with seafoam in all my small engine gasoline , never had a problem since
Used Stabil for many years. My generator has fuel that is at least 3 years old with Stabil added when I filled it. It starts every time on the 3rd pull. Unbelievable stuff.
Right on
I drain my generator every spring and burn that gas in mower to get rid of it and put fresh in generator
Stumbled across your channel a couple days ago. Been watching your videos. They are so informative. Who knew 24 months was 2 years. Subscribed and liked. Looking forward to being further edjumacated. Thanks
You're Welcome...
Okay here's what's going on fuel oxidizes meaning the oxygen from the fuel molecule breaks off and in the process changing the fuels properties and it's a form of turpentine also as the oxygen molecule is released it will break down your gaskets in your carburetor sure it will leave a little bit of a varnish but I think the gasket material is what deteriorates the most. SO gas stable will prevent the oxidation for prolonged period of time good stuff it does work I got to have it.
Stevd, this video teaching us how and why to use Sta- Bil was absolutely eye opening and I loved it. Your videos are all so interesting, and I savor your deliveries so I can improve my own yard equipment. I hate to find my tools failing when I need to use them. Thank you so very much. Now I understand.
You're Welcome...
I use sta-bil in everything heck even in my morning coffee!!!
Great video Steve. We add Stabil as soon as the refilled jerry can comes home
I take the sta Bill with me to the refuel station
Love Stabil. Good stuff. Use in all my lawn equipment, generator, pressure washer. Also in my car when I put in storage for the winter too...
Right on
I have been using stabil for years. Really good for my home generator as it can sit for awhile before use. This stuff works!
Great to hear!
I've been using it for 20 years. I treat the 5 gallon can as soon as I get it and put a date tag on it. I put it in my 55 gallon boat tank too and buy ethanol free gas. No more fuel problems period. When I first started using it, there was only one type. Now they have a dozen different kinds. Is there any difference?
I use their green quick fix. I had my farm boss carb gummed up pretty bad since I forgot to winterize it. Works like a charm cleaning the carb without taking it apart. That ans seafoam, great stuff.
Hello, Steve. My question is : Have you ever used Marvel Mystery Oil ? I have used it for some years now, and I am very surprised how it has improved the performance of my various engines. I have a Coleman generator which would only run for 3 hours on a tank of gas. When I began using Marvel Oil in the gasoline, the generator actually runs over 7 hours on a tank now. I was so happily surprised. I use it in my rototiller and it starts first pull every time. I would recommend it from the benefits I have experienced. Thanks.
I have also used this for years as well . Never had problems with fuel . I always keep my fuel cans sealed , not open to the air . this also helps keep the fuel from going bad . Unless you use your fuel in less than a week , you should keep the containers closed .
Or less It’s too volatile and will just evaporate. I have never seen ppl leave cans open.????
I use this for my ATV engine which I use only during the hunting season. Never had an issue starting it in the spring.
Thanks Buddy...
Awesome video Steve!! I even use stabilizer in my motorcycle and boat at the end of the season. Since using Stabilizer, I haven't had to take a carburetor apart to clean it. It's easy and cheap insurance.
Right on Buddy...
One of the best products ever made
Amen...
Thanks, Steve.
I use it regularly. But if you watch project farms video i have mixed feelings! But will always use stabil cause i personally have never had an issue!
The problem I believe they did not use stabil, they used another brand..
Buying Stabil today.
Right on
Been using it for years. I have had good luck with Lucas Ethanol treatment
Great video, I've been using Sta-Bil for years and I use it year round as well.
Thank You...
Wish I had known this stuff existed!
Right on
Steve live in northern Illinois when I put away my summer equipment for years I have always run the engine out of gas after I have completed changing the oil
Didn't need this one, because I already believe in Stabil, but I just like your vids and have learned a lot, even about things I don't need. Just good to learn. Never know when somebody else needs help. YES, you have definitely helped me save bucks and fix what I was told "wasn't worth it" and that I "should just buy new". BS!!
I use that stuff year round in my boat, and lawn eqt. the place I work for uses it big time in the cars we store for years at a time. great stuff
Right on Buddy...
Keep the great work! I'm learning so much from your channel... Thanks!
My pleasure!
Gotta love Steve and gotta love STABIL and both together gets me to subscribe.
Thank You...
Hey bro! Don't forget to mention that auto parts stores carries this stabilizer too. I bought mine at O'Reilly's for about $8.00 with tax.
Preach Steve! “You never know when’s the last time your going to use this.” At my usage level STABIL runs me less than $12 a year for my lawn mower, chainsaw and blower. Why, Why Why did I wait 20 years to start using this year round? Cleaning 1 carb and trying to bring back an engine that has been ‘varnished’ takes me about an hour. If I’m paying myself $12 an hour for labor, it pays for itself if it only saves one engine a year. Awesome video.
Thanks for the awesome comment my friend...
If you give yourself a raise to $20 an hour you are actually saving money and can afford an extra 6 pack. EH?
Steve out ⚡ The tequila bit was a great idea 👍🇺🇸
Thank You...
I put one ounce of Sta-Bil in one gallon of PNE gas. I also add one half of an ounce of Startron per gallon in my gas. In four cycle gas I add one ounce of Marvel Mystery Oil per gallon of gas. My generator has four gallons of gas in it since January 2016. I run it 15 minutes every month with no problems. I used to use Briggs AFT but it got to pricy.
Steve,
You caught me off guard at 3:07 and I had to watch it again. The smirk was funny too! It was hard for me to focus on the rest of the video while chuckling. Now about the fuel stabilizer, I've been adding Sta-Bil to my gas for years and have never had gas problems with my Stihl MS 361 and FS 250. Your videos have helped me a lot too (like a clogged spark arrestor screen on the FS 250).
Excellent!
