What happens here
In addition to using non-ethanol fuel, add a quality fuel stabilizer like Seafoam to your small engine's fuel. Seafoam is particularly effective because it helps to remove moisture from the fuel. Moisture can accumulate inside metal fuel tanks through condensation, even on non-rainy days, especially with temperature fluctuations. This condensation promotes rust and can dilute the fuel. Unlike products like HEET, which are primarily alcohol and can be damaging to small engines (though useful in vehicles to prevent fuel line freezing), Seafoam blends water into the fuel in a way that allows it to pass harmlessly through the engine, preventing moisture-related issues without damaging components.
Goal: Prevent moisture buildup and fuel degradation using an appropriate fuel additive.
