I use Marine StaBil in most of the gasoline used in our Corvairs and small 
engines.  I also keep a can of ChemTool B-12 for occasional use.  A shot of 
Iso-Heat goes in all of our gasoline vehicles in mid-November, then they 
are treated again in late March and/or April.

I use no oil additives; Amsoil type AMO 10W-30, has 1266 ppm ZDDP and is 
used in the Corvairs, small engines and the Kubota (diesel) tractor.  Other 
Amsoil motor oils specific to application are used in our modern cars and 
trucks.

I do put a few ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil in the tank of my Dodge with 
every fill of diesel.  I may resume adding 1oz/10gal of acetone and do a 
more careful job of recording any changes.
