New 2006 Mercury 115HP 4-Stroke - Questions about Additives

[TheChad]

Hey All,<br /><br />I have a brand new boat with a 2006 Mercury 115HP 4-stroke.<br /><br />The Dealer suggested adding Fuel Stabilizer year around for every gallon of fuel.<br /><br />I found in the iboats.com store that there are many types of additives, stabilizer, cleaner, conditioner, etc..<br /><br />I was hoping to get some input from those with the knowledge... <br /><br />What additives should I be adding to my fuel tank? It's a 27g tank, I fill it up every time it gets down to 3/4 full..<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />-TheChad

Stabiliser for every gallon? You mean "every tank" right? Stabil is a well known fuel stabiliser...but why every tank? Anyway, it certainly wouldn't harm anything. Most folks use it for winter storage in the fall to keep the fuel fresh.

Every Gallon.<br /><br />In other words, If I add 4 gallons to top off the tank, add fuel Stabilizer to treat 4 gallons..<br /><br />That's what the dealer I purchased the boat from suggested.<br /><br />When I went to purchase another bottle from the local marine shop, the guy there suggested, adding fuel conditioner durning the months of use, and then fuel stabilizer durning the winter...<br /><br />-TheChad
