Sta-bil...add more if riding occasionally?

[PMK]

One option of where to purchase Yamalube Fuel Med RX in the small bottles. Amazon price was a lot more. The $1.95 per small bottle is about average cost. I buy from the local shop, I get a full box of 12 or 18 small bottles, I forget how many. I stuff several in the frunk and use as needed at almost every fill up.

Fuel component corrosion is my greatest concern, so this is a small cost to prevent it.

Off to the Yamaha shop today.

Others may disagree, but I consider that a good decision. You might call first to ensure they have it in stock.

Also, be certain to get Fuel Med RX, not Engine Med RX.

FWIW, the linked video discussed Fuel Conditioner, that product was renamed Fuel Med RX. Already did that research.

If you have not seen it then either you haven't looked or the conditions haven't been met. I have seen it for myself.

So you assumed that it was CAUSED by the Stabil.
Maybe the Stabil just failed to PREVENT it.

sta-bil does not treat ethanol do you have 10% ethanol in your gas

Yes it DOES.
Says so right on the label.

As I clearly said that I believed that adding too much Stabil caused the gel because the results were repeatable.
Also clearly stated is that I like Stabil.

But perhaps, as you suggest , that adding Stabil failed to prevent the condition then it was a waste of money to add it.

No maybe not.
Without knowing ALL of the conditions present when the "failure" occurred you can not draw that conclusion.

Note that I did NOT actually say I believed excess Stabil could not have caused that to happen.
It is entirely possible that it could.
That is why they have instructions with a proper dose listed.

Earlier in the thread I noted that a couple of my engines ran rough in the spring after I added a bit more than the recommended amount.......and stopped doing that when fresh gas was added. I think I was using 50% over the recommendation. I don't do that anymore.
