    with Stabil or likewise products it will burn ok in the lawn tools next year

    been doing this for over 30 years with no complaints from the tractor, mower, blower and trimmer

    Stabil works for gasoline and gas/oil mixes….IF THERE IS NO ETHANOL IN THE GAS!…. and most of us are able to get ethanol-free gasoline. Regular Sta-Bil does nothing to prevent ethanol phase separation. ….but….There is a product called Sta-Bil-Ethanol that will prevent ethanol phase separation. Good luck trying to find that product! Sta-Bil also makes a product called Sta-Bil-Marine that is more available. This works too, in fact, the manufacturer claims it has twice the amount of ethanol stabilizer in it that Sta-Bil-Ethanol has.

    Here is the best article I’ve found on ethanol phase separation:
