Fuel Additives-smallYamaha outboards

Post by Mike Wainfeld »

I have been using Starbrite gas stabilizer in my 3hp yamaha. The gas stays in the tank for long periods-I use about 2 gallons for the whole season- and over the winter. As I understand the use of a stabilizer is mandatory in this situation to prevent the formation of deposits. The owners manual suggests the use of Yamaha Ring Free Additive. Should this be used instead of the stabilizer, or in addition? Are they both the same thing? What types of fuel additives, if any do other folks use?
Thanks!
