We've seen tons of opinion threads on what additives are best. I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone uses without the anecdotal evidence, opinions, marketing hype etc. Just state what you use and when, NOT WHY. I'm interested in who uses what and if anyone combines additives for routine use (ie Stabil and seafoam), also what type of fuel you use. I'll go first...

Decarb - dunk method once per season with Seafoam
Additive - one ounce Seafoam per gallon gas every few tanks
Fuel - E10 87 octane

Decarb 1/year with seafoam.
No additives
Wallyworld 2 cycle oil
fogging oil and stabilizer for storage

BTW - I highly doubt anything but the 2cycle oil is really necessary. We never decarbed, fogged or stabilized the fuel in our engines of old....

Yes, certainly better than none at all. I'm asking more about fuel additives though (Seafoam, Stabil, Startron, etc).

Re: Not another additive thread

Why use an additive? Don't let your fuel sit. Use it up in your lawn mowers and yard equipment.:confused:

I have never once used any additives, seafoam or any of that stuff. No problems yet.

As far as oil goes, I typically use Valvoline, or anything similar, just as long as it's TCW3 oil.:cool:
