BEWARE OFF SEASON GAS ADDITIVES!
Message:
Unless I am the most unlucky guy in the world I have a message for those who use gas stabalizers. I sent my 9 year old tractor to Ansonia lawnmower (this guy has serviced everything I own for the last 10 or so years. ) The glitch this year was I used startron instead of stabil over the winter. My tractor started and ran for about a minute and then nothing; cranked till the battery died. The problem according to my mechanic was the fuel lines had turned to jelly. He had to blow out the lines; change the filter which was totally pluged and work on the carb. His reccomendation use what I have used for years and throw the new stuff away. LIKE I SAID THIS WAS MY EXPERIENCE maybe you guys will be more lucky than I was. cmorjoe

Thanks for the heads-up Joe. Still using Stabil and looks like I will be sticking to that.
