Re: How long does it take gas to go bad?
ZmOz <br /><br />Up until about 5 years ago, I never used anything when I stored my engine for the winter(5 Months). Never did have a problem with it in the spring. Never rebuilt the Carb or anything. Never used a decarb product. Still have the same little motor on my runabout going strong. It's an 89' Johnson 28 HP. So I have to wonder about all the additives we put in now days. But, like most, I do use Stabil and fog the motor every year before I put it up now. And I do decarb regularly, now. But, that's on my 91' 70 HP rude, not that it matters. Just a change in thinking or maybe reading these forums have changed the way I do things to preserve my motor. Then again, if I did nothing to it but run it every year and put it up in the fall until spring, like I used to, who knows....
