The marina I purchased my boat from recommended CRC for the fuel.
I heard of problems with Sta-Bil?

Thank You for your input

Re: Sta-Bil or CRC?

What kind of problem have you heard about Sta-Bil???
I've used it for 20+ years without a problem.
And- which CRC product was recommended?

I think it was on this web site some guy's had problem with gum up.
The marina said CRC fuel stabiliser.

No way. Sta-bil has been around forever, and used according to directions, it works. Never heard of an issue with it.

Is CRC a fuel stabilizer?

Re: Sta-Bil or CRC?

my guess is yer shop sells the crc but not the stabil.

i've been using the red stabil w/o issue in any boats i've had since my 1st one in 97....

a 2 stroke kaw. 750
a 4 stoke yamaha 1000
and 2 mercruiser 165hp L6's...

The shop sells both.
guess that's not his motivation then... if had my choice. i still go stabil. only because i've never heard of anyone having issues when using it. including me.. tried and proven.. imho of course. ;)

hope yer having a great season over there in the big O this summer... i've not even got over to the river yet... been pretty high to be boating on...:(

Sta-bil.
I bought a ton of gas when prices were soaring to over $4.00 a gallon with no end in sight, treated it all with Sta-bil and almost 2 years later running it in all my lawn equipment with zero problems.
