<br />DJ, I pour it into my truck when the tank is nearly empty then go fill up my truck. The "bad gas" mixes in with the fresh so much that it doesn't really have an effect on the truck's performance.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">There you go, water and ethanol, the marine Stabil absorbed the water and it all fell out of suspension. Settles to the bottom in a gray goo. Throw away the Stabil and look for a product that has NO ALCOHOL. Stabil has Ethanol and Startron has Methanol. Don't know if it is available universally, but look for a product called "Gas-Shok". <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

So f products with alcohol essentially absorb the contaminants and let them settle to the bottom how does Gas-Shok handle the contaminants differently?

<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">I am not the chemist, but it uses a different method to suspend the water and keeps the ethanol suspended. This way the water makes steam when burnt with the gasoline.

It's described here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLz_zA0ZF4A

That is a great idea... btw, your signature is great! It reminds me of the motto of the summer camp I worked at in college: "DON'T WASTE FUN"
