Stabil in the mix?

[CalG]

Any a regular Stabil user that includes the two stroke mix?

My weed whackers hang on the wall all winter.
Some of the chain saws get infrequent use. The back pack blower really only gets used "seasonally", Though I did try it on a fluffy snow last year with impressive results.

A put Stabil in all the full fuel tanks on mower, splitter, and even the old Fordson E27n.

I've splashed a bit in the two stroke mix can off and on, But I'm thinking to make it a regulare thing.

Comments?

May want to check the oil mix bottle. Some 2 stroke mix oils already contain a fuel stabilizer

What he said, I know Echo oil has stabilizer in it or at least it did last time I checked which I'll have to do now . I use stabilizer in all my gas powered equipment.
Just checked, it does:

My VPracing has it in it already.

Running Efree dont even worry about it on OPE.

Stabil really dont help on ethanol gas either.

It seems that all the name-brand 2-stroke oils have it, these days.

But the bigger issue is... who's storing 2-stroke mix long enough for that to matter? Most 2-stroke engines require a pretty high minimum octane, and octane diminishes with days on the shelf in an unconditioned shed. Never buy/mix more than you can use in a couple of weeks!

I go thru maybe 25 gallons of 2 stroke per year, but still mix it in two little 1-gallon cans. As soon as one gets below 30% full, or if I know I have a lot of work coming up a particular weekend, I throw the other in the trunk of my car to be filled next time I'm passing a station. Leapfrogging two 1-gallon cans beats one 2-gallon can, for 2-stroke.
