TurboNova Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I see the two big ones are Sta-bil and lucas make e85 additives. I have had some issues with the fuel and the black gummy stuff that goes with. Has anyone used these additives and like one over the other http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/484105761_R_16790ce7.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y216/1972nova/41nyFpPrqnL.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I personally would just drain and flush all of it before putting to winter e85 is to corrosive to let sit if not needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboNova Posted December 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 yeah its a little bit of a pain I think, I guess I could drain the cell and put a few gallons of gas and go that way. but this is not only for winter time but also to run during the season. These gas stations have this fuel for who knows how long in their tanks. I always test the strentgth but who know how long its been sitting to collect moisture as well.

DTM Brian Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I put two bottles of the lucas in my car every winter. You can not "overdose" the fuel with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 The other thing I do is get the tank as full as possible. I figure that way there is less room for water to collect. I had zero issues with it last year winter. In all honesty the fuel sat in the tank from November of 2011 to August of 2012. Car fired up with zero issues and zero fuel delivery problems. Fuel pressure stayed the same and A/F's were the same as the previous pulls over a year ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I have not looked for this stuff at the store.. does the autozone/advance auto parts carry it? Advance I know does.

Draco-REX Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I put two bottles of the lucas in my car every winter. You can not "overdose" the fuel with it. Uhh.. Just so you know, one bottle of that Lucas E85 treatment is good for 80 gallons. You can probably get by with quite a bit less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
