Startron Vs Lucas Fuel additive
Been using the Startron gas additive as we don't have anything but ethanol here in Central Tx. but it's not always in stock so I looked at the Lucas gas additive. trying it this week, anyone used Lucas? seems to run smoother with additive hope the Lucas works as good.

I'm on my first tank with Startron and have not used the Lucas. Hopping it helps the Spyder run better.
I would recommend looking at a power sports dealership for Startron. I found mine at my BRP dealer. They use this to help keep the water out of the gas in the water craft.

My RS runs smoother with Startron also. Amazing when I don't use it for a few tanks and then add it

Interchanging
Been alternating between the Lucas and the StarTron for a number of weeks now and see no difference between the products. Pyder does run differently with either additive rather than without.YMMV. What I run usually depends on the sale prices at Tractor Supply or Wallyworld.
Just my experience.

I have always used Star Tron in my boats and get it at West Marine or Auto Zone. I have also see it on Walmart.com for store pick up.

Good places to look for Startron are Walmart marine section as stated, some Autozones, some Napa stores, any quality marine/boat center, most motorsports dealers, and almost all quality lawn mower centers.
Startron was developed by a chemical co. in Japan and is licensed to be produce by Star Brite in the US and is called Startron and by a co. in Europe and is sold as Soltron. If you can find Soltron it is the exact same thing. Our Napa store carries the Soltron in a larger bottle and makes it cheaper than Strartron. The Soltron bottle treats 500 gal.
I will not run a tank of gas without this stuff in my Spyder or my car, great product!
Oh and just incase some new users are looking at this, Startron is sold in two different consintrations. The stuff most lawn care and motorsports shops sell is half strength. The stuff Walmart and all marine centers sell is the full strength and overall makes it cheaper because you only use half as much even if it cost a little more. If you find it at an auto center you just have to look. Hope this helps.

I have been searching and it appears Startron and Stabil Marine Formula basically do the same thing ?? Any one compare the 2?

I have used Lucas in all my vehicles for years. 2, 3 and 4 wheels. Catch it onsale at auto zone and stock up. About 1 oz per tank on the spyder keeps fuel system clean and running top notch in spite of the dreaded ethanol.

AutoZone up here in my neck of the woods has all of them; StarTron, Sea Foam, and Sta-Bil... I'm trying StarTron this year for the first time, so I'll keep you posted as to what differences I can note with it.
