"... Stabil has a different function. It prevents the fuel from turning
sour, the Marvel Mystry oil was not used as a fuel stabilizer, but as a top
end, cylinder and piston lubricant and cleaner. The Stabil Marine product
is better than the standard Stabil..."
Yes, and STA-BIL, besides allowing the fuel to go to "seed," also inhibits
ethanol-caused water separation and corrosion. The marine product does
more than the standard product; I've used both, and presently use only the
marine product... goes in all, three Vairs (two of which are driven daily).
Here in Florida, all readily available fuel is 10% ethanol-infected. Prior to
using STA-BIL, was having a consistent issue with idle circuits going lean
and having to blow out circuits with carb cleaner and compressed air. Now,
for about a year and a half, no idle circuit issues. Non-treated,
ethanol-infected fuel--it appears--does something bad to the inside of Corvair
carburetors.
