<VV> A partial solution for ethanol

"...(PRI-G) as much  better then Sta-Bil, that I had used in the  past..."
 
You are correct, Bill, the standard Sta-Bil product doesn't get the job  
done; however, the marine formula does. I relate an outcome based on actual  
experience with Corvairs: I have three Corvairs, with two being driven on a  
daily basis. The two driven daily are 110s with standard Rochester twin 
carbs.  When 10% ethanol-infected fuel took over the Florida fuel supply, I  
immediately began using Sta-Bil with every tank of fuel... to no avail.  
Approximately every two weeks, both vehicles would begin to idle rough (my  
wideband O2 tester showed lean), and to correct I'd need to blow out the idle  
passages with carb cleaner followed by compressed air. Then, when  Sta-Bil 
introduced its Marine Formula product, I began using said  marine product. Since 
then (about a year now), I've not had any problems with  rough idle, in 
either vehicle, and carb "blow jobs" (sorry, couldn't help  myself) are a thing 
of the past. I purchase the 32 Oz size at Walmart (I know,  it's a zoo, but 
hold your nose; the prices are righteous) for under  $20. I'm using 1.5 Oz. 
per gallon of fuel. The Sta-Bil Marine product  advertises: "DOUBLE the 
corrosion preventer  than in Regular STA-BIL" and "Prevents  corrosion from 
moisture & ethanol-induced water attraction." From experience  using in my 
Corvairs, it does what the advertising says. The PRI-G sounds  interesting, too; 
haven't seen any around my regular parts houses, but I'll  look around.
