Just curious if anyone has used this product. What does it really treat with the ethanol?

I use StaBil in my Packards. They may be inoperable for up to three months at a time, so I feel the need to treat the gas. Austin has up to 10% ethanol mixed with its gasoline. So far I have had no bad fuel problems. I recommend its use.

I store all my gas with Stabil over the winter months. My Packard is stored for 6 months of the year with a full tank of 5% ethanol gas. It starts and runs as good as ever after winter storage so I believe Stabil is a good product.

I have used Stabil for several years in my Packard as I store it with a full tank of gas. It fires up in the Spring and runs well on that tankful. I think it is a good product, but it may not work with the new 15% ethanol we are going to be forced to buy shortly.

I'd agree with the others. The regular product is a good one. If you are asking about their new product specifically for ethanol, I don't see anything it would do for us the regular one does not. The way I read their description, it's more for modern ongoing daily drivers. Their regular product does say it will work with E85 and also is for long term storage which should cover anything we use.

- Works safely and effectively in all gasoline's including ethanol-blended fuel up to E85
- Removes water to prevent corrosion and cleans carburetors and fuel injectors
- Protects engine from gum, varnish, rust, and corrosion
- Prolongs engine life
- Eliminates the need to drain fuel before storage
