Stab-il can I drive the car with it in now. Changed my mind on storage
Hey everyone,
As the title says... I stored the car November 18 with fuel stabilizer and now, December 19 I've changed my mind and want to drive the car over the coarse of the winter. Is it ok to drive with fresh fuel stabilizer in it? Greg |

Contacting the manufacturer seems like the best idea. Having said that, it seems crazy that a fuel stabilizer would render gas unsafe for use until a specific time has elapsed, and that elapsed time is documented nowhere. Especially given how common its use is in small engines, where people (like myself) mix some into fresh gas then immediately use it all season long in a lawn tractor or snowblower or whatever.

The site does also mention dosing the tank and then running the engine to make sure the fuel in the lines through to the injectors is protected too.
Although how the volatile elements are going to degrade in there is an interesting point. |

yep
Same thing happened to me. Put the baby to sleep in October with a healthy dose of Stabil. Decided to drive it in November. Fresh tank of gas and more Stabil and it was back to sleep. Ended up taking the car out last weekend for another 50 miles. Car ran 100% fine. I put Stabil in every gas engine I own....generators, snowblower, ATV's, and my trucks.
