I use standard Stabil (the red stuff) to pickle the fuel for storage, like for my generator and other seasonal machines. And I only use ethanol-free gasoline, in part because most of my small engines and outboard are old. They run well, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I guess I didn't realize there was a competitor to Stabil, the only one I've used. But everything that can be run dry for storage is. I have no certified ethanol-free gas nearby, so it pays to be cautious.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I found that the Liberty gas stations here carry ethanol free gas.
Does anyone know other chains that do?

Fastrac carries ethanol-free here, but from what I could find, they're in NY only.

I use stabil for storage. Not sure what it does for ethanol, if anything.
