    What are you using in the fuel tank be it gasoline or diesel.
    I was using Sea form for several years every so often to a 36 gallon tank but recently switched over to Motor mystery oil after a couple of mechanics told me the sea foam leaves a chalky film?

    Any truth in that and what are yall using?

    I switched to Marvel on advice of a customer at the auto parts store where I work. I have liked the results. The basic statement was its the same chemicals if you check the msds and much cheaper

    Are you preserving the gas in the tank? My cars are always on the road, so I don't have an issue with gasoline in them. For storage fuel and diesels that are sitting because I refuse to pay current prices I use BG CF5 and Pri D.

    I've run stored gas at well past six years that was preserved with BG CF5. BG says one 11 ounce can treats three five gallon cans, but I just use one can for two since it's way easier to pour in half a can by eye.

    I found that CF5 would also get stored lawn mowers that wouldn't start in the spring to start right up doing nothing else but adding a splash to the fuel in the tank.

    I run sta-bul in everything, Quicksilver marine 2 stroke for all the smokers, and usually 100LL av-gas! For the cars, we generally drive enough to not need treatments, but for the SRT, and standard Durango, I run BG fuel system cleaner every 3500 miles or so! For the Diesels, we also run the BG fuel cleaner with the addition of pure alcohol to the fuel to remove any water they might collect!

    Oh wait, I should have mentioned usually all I buy is ethanol free.
    That solves a lot of problems.

    We store ethanol free leaded super. I liberally dose it with Pri-G. I used to use Stabil, but Pri-G is supposed to last longer so we switched a few years back.

    Its kinda crazy to think that in 7 years almost all cars will be banned in CA... and those that aren't wont be able to charge their batteries.

    What do you bet, most of the POLICE Cars, Federal, State and Local will still be Liquid Fueled?

    So Commiefornia is going to get rid of their $30K Liquid Fueled Cars with basically 500 miles Range and a 5 minute Refuel time, for a bunch of $65K Electric Cars with a 300 Mile Range, and a 5 hour Recharge time... Typical SoCall Thinking....

    If the apocalypse comes, and the power goes out, californians will not even be able to make it to their BOLs as there won't be any gas nor electricty.

    They'll have to pretend they are Snake Plissken from the movie Escape from L.A.
