Check your 6 Gal gas tanks Bone Dry and you might be surprised at the water on the bottom. Pour the last quart of fuel into a clear plastic or glass container, to easily see the water on the bottom. This was in fresh fuel I mixed at the start of this summer treated with Stabil. I try and burn most left over 50:1 fuel mix in 2-cycle lawn equipment and chainsaws (vs keeping it until next summer?s season in North TX).
1. Is it common to have inline fuel filters or combos that will separate water from fuel also? If so, are they easily found in auto stores?
2. Are all outboard rated 2-cycle mixes basically just as good? When our K-Marts closed I found at least 12 quarts (12 + years worth) of their brand at .50 a quart (I emptied the shelf). Since then I have used Quicksilver a few times thinking I was gaining some Cleaning, Boosting or Etc. Mainly since the need of Stabil and Etc to help with the life of Ethanol fuel. This is a blow to the pocket if Wal-Mart?s mix is just as good. Actually I took this as a tip from Frank, in a fuel post with his good details.
