    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Old fuel stabilizer still good?

It's that time of year again :(

I have a bottle of Sta-bil brand fuel stabilizer that's three or four years old. Wondering if it's still good to use or if I should get rid of it and buy a fresh bottle...

I have no idea how long fuel stabilizer lasts. But, since it only costs a few $$, then I would play it safe and buy new stuff.
 
Sta-Bil will last 2 years from the date you open it.

Just get some new if it's 3 or 4 years old.

Feed it to your lawnmower and get a new bottle of Sta-Bil!

Or does anyone make gas preservative preservative?

I've used the old Briggs or Tecumseh to get rid of many suspect hydrocarbons over the years.
 
I was looking at the Motormaster gas stabilizer at crappy tire and it stated on the label something to the effect that it breaks down and becomes inert after 6 months, which, coincidentally is how long the winter lasts here.

8O Now thats not very stable stabilizer! Sheesh :)
 
I've used 2 year old Sta-bil no problem, worked fine. And then there's some really smooth 10 year old stuff... :wink:
