PRI-G good for how long?
Original Message Jan 21, 2005 2:09 am

I bought an 8oz. bottle of PRI's Power Start from Sidell Marine on 9/25/03. What do you guys think of as far as how long this stuff should last and keep my fuel in good condition? Is it past date? It doesn't seem to look like it did new, but it is cold here. Kept in a garage in the heat of summer and cold of winter. Hopefully I won't have to throw it out yet. How about other brands, I know Sta-bil recommends 2 years. Then pitch it.

I've never seen PRI-G in my travels, but Sabil is everywhere....I don't know about all of you but a bottle of Stabil does'nt last me 2 years...and I definatly don't leave the same gas in my OPE for two years sooooo.....for me the point is moot.

But if I ever come accross PRI-G and if it does'nt cost much more ythan Stabil I'd be willing to give it a try.

Dan, it comes in a qt bottle for about $25 US, makes 512 gallons, comes out to about 5 cents per gallon.

Wow, Thanks guys for all your comments and thoughts. I miss BobbyP and what he brought to the forum, and he certainly is being thought about now. It has turned darker, and seems to have some little specs/particles in it. I'll stay away from Sta-bil. I have to other brands sitting in the garage beside it. The kind that Briggs & Stratton makes, and Gumout by Pennzoil. They all seem to make the engine pop just a little when at idle.

I got turned on to Sea Foam by folks up here in Alaska.

Snowmobile guys swear by it. It really keeps fuel fresh.

My Sportsman 500 had a terrible idle even when it was brand new. Two tanks of fuel later and it was perfect.

It's all I use anymore.
