can anyone recommend a good carb cleaner that is added to fuel?does it also act to enable fuel not used to be stored?

Re: carb cleaner

In this country a product called Stabil is probably the most popular for fuel storage. Another is SeaFoam which is also used regularly in the fuel as a fuel system cleaner. In high concentrations it is excellent for de-carboning procedures. SeaFoam is also available in spray can form called Deep Creep.

Re: carb cleaner

if its a two stroke and the carbs are already clogged odds are you will pop a piston long before any "cleaner" will do anything. stabilizers will only last about 6 months and then only to fresh fuel. if the fuel is sour its trash, chunk it or be prepared for the results.
