Using a fuel stabilizer can greatly help in keeping your fuel fresh during the vehicle's hibernation time.
    Ya I run V-Power 91. I still will probably throw in some stabil as insurance since that fuel has been in the car since June.

    unless of course you were just telling the cop that, then I guess that's a different story lol
    Really? He didn’t say anything about that... I mentioned that I ordered it online. He was like “yeah I could write you a ticket but I’m a nice guy so I won’t” what a asshat.

    +1 on seafoam... that stuff really helped with my girls old crv + the fox. Now my outboard gets it too.

    Made sense to me as dropping the tank wit IRS is a bit more work.
    If they'd only left a hair more room to reach the front strap bolts, specially on the drivers side. Best time to change the fuel filter though.

    yeah, sounds like he was trying to make it sound like he was doing you a favour...

    He did give him a break, he could have charged him for not having current validation on his plate.

    Back to the original topic of the post, has anyone tried Stabil 360? It’s supposed to put an anti-corrosion vapour in your tank. Might be worth trying especially if the tank is low on fuel. It’s my second year using it in my car with nothing bad to report.

    Stored away the boosted stang with less than 60Km and SOME (1/4) bottle of seafoam.
    that way, in the summer I just run over to Petro Canada, run some 94 through the filler neck into the tank
    Empty the tank with mild driving and refill and go boosting!

    BOOST BOOST AWAY!
