I saw some fuel stabilizer yesterday called " Opti-mizer ". It was in a small plastic container. It said it treated 1 to 2.5 gallons of gas and kept the gas fresh for 24 months. It seems to be comparable to Sta-bil. I have always used Sta-bil and wondered if anyone on the forum was using Opti-mizer and if they liked it ?. I found the one packet of it while cleaning out a garage for a friend who bought the house. I don't even know if it's still being sold.I forgot he manufacurers name on the packet and it got thrown out.   

The Opti-Mizer fuel stabilizer is good a good stabilizer.  The manufacturer is Interlube International (http://www.opti2-4.com/).  Their oil claims to be good enough to extend engine warranties an extra year.  We sell the oil, mix oil and the fuel stabilizer here.  A 20 fl. oz bottle retails at between $7 and $9 Canadian.  The mix oil we sell is good for any mix, dump contents of pouch (1.8 oz) in gas container with 5 litres (1 gallon) and you're good to go.  I never thought that it would be any good, but we've had customers faithfully using it for years without trouble.  So I guess it must be decent.  The fuel stabilizer is one that we find the best value for the $ around here and we haven't seen any problems with it yet. 

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info. sherri. I now remember seeing the Opti-4 engine oil in a farm supply store one day but didn't associate it with the Opti-mizer gas additive. It sounds like it may be a little more economical and as good or better than Sta-bil. I  may try to locate some and give it a try . Thanks again for replying to my question. 

Hi...

Use to use Stabil... Didn't work in a new Honda FG100 Mini-tiller... carb had to be replaced after the 1st winter's storage...

Here (Bobby P)... I found out about the PRI-x products for stabilizing and refreshing old fuel...

I now use Pri-x... PRI-G for gas... PRI-D for diesel...

No issues with it... honda mini tiller worked fine after winter w/ PRI-G in it... unlike the issue using Stabll...

No knowledge of the product you inquired about... sorry...
