    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

A few years back when the derecho hit I borrowed a co-worker's generator. He had let it sit with stale gas in the carb and tank since the last time it had been used, about 2 years prior. It would run on full choke, but not above 44Hz or so and not even that under load. I drained the tank and put in some fresh fuel with SF. It didn't immediately fix the issue, but after sitting overnight she ran well again. My guess is that gelled fuel gumming up some carb passages got dissolved. Had the passages been fully blocked it probably wouldn't have helped at all. Maybe fresh gas on its own could have done the job and the SF was of no benefit - who knows? Anyway it's the only time I've seen SF potentially "fix" anything. Nothing is a fix-all: not all problems are created equal.

SF does have a good reputation as a fuel stabilizer, and late in the riding/mowing season I will use it for that in the carbureted machines...
