This stuff reminds me of the 70s and 80s when Arm & Hammer had us putting boxes of Baking Soda in the refrigerator and down the sink drain to keep the house smelling fresh. The Baking Soda also kept the elephants away.

I've got that stuff in the engine compartments of all of our vehicles including the lawn tractor. So far I haven't had any mouse problems since placing them. Of course, the lawn tractor is also surrounded by traps baited with peanut butter which have taken out almost two dozen mice!(Don't tell PETA:LOL:) I've also got a couple of Rat Zappers and they've been pretty good about getting rid of the mice. In the basement utility room. Just be fully covered, I caught a garter (might be gopher, not sure) snake at my neighbor's house and transfered it under the shed the tractor is stored in. Thought it might cut down on the number of mice that actually get in the shed. Come to think of it, I haven't caught a mouse in the shed since I put that snake there! |

True007 mentioned:
" The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you buy the Marine Grade Sta-Bil treatment. (dark blackish color as opposed to the pinkish red) It is especially made for Ethanol treated gas, which we all pretty much have now and can be used in anything except diesel. I've used it for the last five years at home and work with no ill effects whatsoever. Easiest place to find it is at a marina or boat store all though I have seen it in automotive stores too. " I have used Sta-Bil for a number of years + + , but was not aware of the Marine Formula indicating Ethanol Treatment. Neither FactCheck or Snopes had any info, did not check Consumer Reports. Big Box stores did not have, rather than drive to a marina, bought at NAPA. Clerk mentioned that only recently was the product being displayed , front counter. I was surprised at the cost for the 1 quart ( 1 oz ea 5 gallons ), shelf life of 2 years, size that treats up to 320 gallons, list price of $30.24, after discount sell price is $23.24. NAPA did not have the smaller size container. Use the moth balls and scented dryer sheets....appears to work, have not had any problems. |

cold weather and Cobras
I have cruised in COLD weather and have never considered using Stabil in my car although I always used it in my boat. Floor the car 3-4 times and it lights every time. I own a landscaping company with LOTS of other engines, and my process is to run the motor out of fuel then pull a plugg(s) and use outboard motor fogging oil to coat the cylinders. Turn the motor over and all surfaces are coated.
below are some video of cold weather Cobra action (missed gear.)Notice the snow on the ground..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tn5o3qgzYxQ LOW 20's this day and drove home in sleet which hurts at speed. The MT Drag radials worked good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-znTFIP4sI Also, common practice with campers and motor homes is to use Comet cleaning powder sprinkled around the tires. Keeps ALL rodents out!!! :D Cruise on. David |
Well, I didn't read all the posts, but this summer I had several people tell me to use Sea Foam - that it's the best fuel stabilizer out there. I have it in my boat now. Any input on Sea Foam?
BTW, from what I understand, today's fuels begin to break down within a few weeks. Good old leaded fuels used to last MUCH longer. |
Both my brother's-in-law have been using Sea Foam and swear by it....................... I use my boat and old Mustang often enough that I don't need to add anything to the fuel, but for storage, adding a stabalizer especially to a 2 cycle engine is good insurance.........
