Don't know if this is bullsh*t or if it's cost effective but I saw an ad for it in Cycle World...supposed to be good for your fuel system if you're stuck using enthanol laced gasoline...for all I know it's the new octane booster...

Now if only we could get that stuff locally. I don't think the USPS, UPS or FedEx will bring that stuff in, will they?
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

FedEx does ship HAZMAT. I have to do it occasionally for work.

The problems is the vendor may just say they won't ship it. It involves some paperwork, so as these things go, it's just easier to have a "policy" to not ship to HI or AK.

maybe it's available through a local marine supplier, as it's supposeably popular with the boating industry...

Aloha sells ethanol free petrol at most marinas.

West Marine does have StarTron. Lots of sizes but it's expensive. An 8 oz. bottle costs $16.00 but supposedly will treat 128 gallons. I bought some and started using it. We'll see.

I added startron to everything last fall for winter storage...

yeah, I know...what's winter?

Everything started and ran fine in the spring.

I did have to add a little more to the lawn tractor, but it was really painless.

I give the stuff a big  [thumbsup]
