I filled the tank of my dune buggy, I should say corn field buggy, added stabil before putting it away for winter, I do this to displace the oxygen due to it's corrosiveness with aluminum stuff. Did I know it's the oxyenated fuel? Nope! It dissolved the aluminum tank, the heavy "new chemical" filled the carb, filter and fuel pump leaving behind solid aluminum as it evaporated. What fun to clean out. The the stiff even ate holes thru the tank! The thing to do is to drain the system completely!! GW
: In my motorhome I installed a fuel shutoff at the tank where I could reach it and I shut the gas off and let the engine burn what remains in the carb and hoses. Believe it or not it is easier to start after a month of this than before....
