[QUOTE="MNHunter505, post: 307608, member: 9507"] Yes, the fuel stabilizer designed for use with ethanol gas is a good idea. But a better idea is not to use ethanol gas. On the subject of Seafoam...that is another 50/50 discussion. You can google and read experiences from guys just like us who have ruined their outboards. I had some problems with my 2-stroke last year and did a lot of research about how to fix it. I came accross Seafoam but saw a lot of neg reviews. So i was turned away from it and ended up fixing my problem the traditional way...carb and fuel stabilizer. I think Seafoam is a product created to end up in the hands of the average guy at home to fix a problem, the easy quick solution that marketing sells. It was produced to make money. If you go into the majority, not all, but majority of small engine repair shops...they are not using it to fix engine problems. They rebuild carbs and advise to use stabilizers or use non-ethanol gas. IMO [/QUOTE]
