Fuel additive, YES or NO..??

[woodworker]

I like Techron for regular use.

I use Pri-G for gas storage, supposedly keeps for five years.

And I use Stabil for small engine winter prep, like for my 30 HP outboard.

I use Stabil after watching Project Farm's video and what other additives do to the pot metal that carbs are usually made from:

Interesting. I lost two chain saw carbs to this rotten gas.

Is anyone using the 44K fuel additive that the dealer recommends?

Your dealer recommended it?
I know fuels can be kinda dirty but dang
I use 91 so I’ve never really worried about it not under burning.. (my area the best we get is 91)

Remember. The dealer recommending it is NOT the same as Ford recommending it.

I say yes and I use the 44k treatment every 3 months

I’m at 99,999 miles exactly. Only used 93 octane and no fuel additives. So far so good. I’m still on the original plugs. Even though I’ve had a new set in the garage for 6 months.

Besides the dealers first fill up I've been using 91 on every fill up and try to use a top tier station. Here's a link for top tier stations and a station finder in your area. They now have a top tier app too.

You got a good point there

I only use non-ethanol in my mower, log splitter and motorcycle. Not in the habit of using Stabil, non-ethanol keeps very well. I recently used my log splitter for the first time in at least a year, and it fired right up.

How long does it take for gas to go bad these days?

How long does it take for gas to go bad these days?

According to Gemini:

When stored properly, non-ethanol gasoline can last up to six months.

This is twice as long as ethanol-blended gasoline (E10), which typically begins to degrade after about three months. The main reason for this difference is that non-ethanol gas does not absorb water from the atmosphere (a process called phase separation) and oxidizes more slowly.

However, the 6-month timeline can be significantly extended with proper storage techniques.

What @got3fords said from my own experience.

I've always thought that 93 lasted 9-12 months and lower 6+ months.

However, I have started my Land cruiser on 3-year old gas-in-the-tank. Of course, that engine needs leaded to run/lube properly and I do add lead - it's such a simple engine.

If you run quality Fuel and are under 150k I wouldnt waste the money, thats why we waste our money on quality fuel, I ran a bottle of Seafoam a few months ago because I had it for the mowers.... but I run 92 Non-Eth in them too

 

[TxOTRRanger]

No fuel additive, and I run 87 octane. OTR Ranger is bone stock internally and it rarely sits still more than a day or two before its on the road again.
Que the Willie Nelson lol!

Over the last two years of this truck I have run many tests with different grades and -Eth, last tank by accident I put 89 with 10%eth and by the end of the tank I had lost 2mpg I went from 20 down to 17.5.... at first I was thinking did I just hit the winter changeover of the gas mix, but this tank I went back to 92 Non-Eth and I am back up to almost 20 again, if I idle a lot it goes down too, I lose 1 mile to empty for every 10 Min. of idle
I swear by Non-Eth, park the equipment over the winter and starts right up and runs no hassle
who the hells bright idea was it to put Corn in your tank anyway?

I try to use Top Tier gasoline, which has cleaners added at the distillery. It is the cleaner with PEA, so it’s similar to Techron.
it won’t impact the DI problems, I’ve read.
occasionally, I may add Seafoam, for whatever.
No. I’m sure the dealer, factory recommends anything to sale it.
