[QUOTE="billt, post: 3492293, member: 5188"] So what is it about Sta-Bil that is so damaging? I've used the product for years with great results. I only recently stopped, and switched to PRI-G, because so many believe it's better. I can't say either way because I've never used it before. But Sta-Bil I have used for decades. Once when living back in Illinois, I purchased a new Honda mower. Up to then I was using an older push Toro that had a 3-1/2 H.P. Briggs & Stratton engine. I cleaned the old Toro all up, changed the oil, and filled the tank with fresh gas, along with a healthy dose of Sta-Bil. I then ran it until I could smell the Sta-Bil burning in the fuel. I then put it in my basement where it sat for the next [B]5 YEARS,[/B] without being touched. When we moved out here to Arizona, I brought it out to sell it at a big garage sale we were having.... [B]The Toro started on the second pull after sitting for 5 years![/B] I'm all but certain using the Sta-Bil had something to do with that. [/QUOTE]
