Storing my 01 vert for the first time. Would it be better to use Seafoam or Stabill in the tank. Seafoam seems to give you a little more protection for other parts of the system. Any advice?

I use STA-BIL, while others prefer SEAFOAM...your preference depending on what the claims are and your goals.

Use Stabil on 4 of my stored vehicles every year. Works for me.

Which ever one is available in your area - both are fine.

Run the tanks down, add STA-Bil. Allowing the 2 tanks to mix and allowing it to get in all the lines and injectors, etc. Shut her down and put a battery tender in it. That is all I do for the winter.

STA-bil has a fuel injector/carb cleaner built in, so when you fire her up in April, she'll clean out.

I picked up a can of Seafoam today. I am going to give it a try since I have had intermittent fuel gauge problems. Thanks for the help.

K-44 from BG products. Expensive, but worth it.

Do you have proof of its superiority? How do you know its "worth it," and not a waste of money?

Just wondering,
George
